Pros

- Great if you move to Charlotte - If your job is regional (digging ditches/climbing poles) then you are safe in OHIO.

Cons

- Ghost town because of consolidating, relocating and/or forcing retirement after becoming the largest Electric Utility in the nation. - Promising the North Carolina Commisions so many bodies will remain in Raleigh (old headquarters for Progress Energy) caused upper management to put importance on Raleigh and Charlotte employees and less importance on Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana. - Morale at an All Time LOW with many employees assuming that a buy out is pending.

Pros

Steady income, just okay benefits

Cons

Organization doesn't know innovation and ostracizes employees who attempt to bring new ideas to the table. Management is too busy putting out daily operational fires to care about a long or short term strategic vision. Little to no career paths. Mergers have further divided company into factions and simple decisions now take months.
