Pros

Co-workers are awesome, the pay is awesome, free food sometimes. Get the opportunity to make extra money selling certain products within a call. Bonuses quarterly and yearly .

Cons

Mandatory OT like every single Monday , random OT on short notice. Schedules on your day off because it’s Mandatory .Shift bids every year so your schedule changes every year, so definitely not a good place to work if you have children. Have to come into work Especially during storms (hurricanes,snowstorms) , you do get the option for hotel stay paid by Duke. Just really long unnecessary hours half the time. If I didn’t have small kids I wouldn’t be complaining because who doesn’t like a nice looking check. But basically you’ll be paying rent but technically not live there because you’ll live at Duke Energy: The CEO got a nice raise but our office in Raleigh is run down , vending machines always taking our money, old computers, computer systems always down, website always down, phone payment system always down which causes high call volume.. Man, I can go on ...but I’ll stop now.

Pros

Benefits, co-workers, location, cafeteria, again friendly co-workers

Cons

No work life balance during storm mode. I walked 2 miles in the snow to make it to work or I would be fired. Be prepared to spend days in a hotel during high outages. You get less than 2 seconds in between calls to breathe or take a sip of water. Turnover is high!! I worked a 3rd shift where I never saw my supervisor. Team leads ran the team. Micro managed on adherence. Non existent breaks. They also added gas calls and progress energy after the merger and only offered $1.50 raise which is an insult after we were forced to train for all these new systems. New reps need to be hired starting at $18+ with all the work they have to do.

Pros

Good benefits, job security, management depends on the plant and group. Most people nice to work with, some are not.

Cons

Slow progression, low pay ceiling, HR sucks, some people that you have to work with are very unprofessional and rude, hear a lot about people being hired only because of friends/family for positions they are not qualified for. Management/supervision appear to be discouraged against questioning changing policies. ERO duty.
