Business Outlook

Pros

Decent pay for a rural community, good benefits, great community involvement funds. Some paid travel to head quarters in Charlotte. Very Safety minded. Some site managers are very great to work with, very knowledgeable, and eager to train and promote employees. Renewables is growing. This position has a flexible schedule, good work life balance.

Cons

Limitations on moving up within the company, especially in Renewables. Feels like a "good ol' boys club". Not a diverse group. Upper Management doesn't understand day to day operations or life in rural areas. Area Managers are not held accountable. If a site manager can talk the talk, nobody will actually look into whether or not that manager is doing their job, following policy or procedures nor if they are holding their staff accountable. This position is very repetitive, and not many extra projects, challenging projects. To move up from this position is difficult because of lack positions within the group that relate to the skill set and background you already have as an SRC. It seems like any experience prior to Duke Energy doesn't count once you have been hired and start looking to move within the company.
