Pros

If you get hired as an engineer at Duke Energy, you will have a job as long as you want one. This work is very suitable for family-oriented individuals looking to stay in the same place for a long time. If you are willing to stick around for 5-10 years, promotional opportunities will present themselves as long as you perform on a high level.

Cons

Not much travel opportunities. Promotional opportunities are few and far between. The salary is below industry averages for similar work.

Pros

Friendly, happy and helpful staff. Lots of committees/programs supporting personal and community growth. Multiple proprietary technologies/applications to peek the interests of all technical backgrounds.

Cons

High percentage of contractors/vendors; advancement appears to be easier for permanent staff than tenured contractors with 3+ years of service; percentage of advancement from contractor to direct-hire very low.
