Pros

Everyone within the company were, at minimum, okay to work with. If you're someone who wants a traditional "9-to-5" type of job and are solely concentrated on clocking in & out each day with no aspirations to grow, Duke Energy is the perfect place for you.

Cons

Adding to my previous statement, a position at Duke Energy is solely a "clock in and out" job. There isn't much room for growth, many people are directionless and stuck twiddling their thumbs while waiting on instructions, and the company itself is just an "okay" place. The leadership team doesn't leave a lasting impression and are no more than warm bodies who answered "yes or no" to our questions. During the slow period (winter), things were mostly at a standstill. However while it should've allowed for ease and time to recover from the busy summer/fall, we instead felt paranoid of losing our jobs as our schedules were clear throughout the day which made us replaceable.

Pros

There's great opportunities for learning. The way that Duke does it is unmatched. They are very good at ensuring their policies are met and there is great opportunity to learn.

Cons

They provide very limited training and will give you opportunities without training and blame you if they fail. They have a VERY SPECIFIC way they do things and the you deter from that in the slightest you will become a social pariah. This is further exacerbated by the gossip and hierarchical blame culture that is fueled by pressure on middle management. In my short time there there was so much stress on the middle managers/ subordinates that they lashed out emotionally at those underneath them and there were two medical events related to that.
