Pros

At the time I worked here, the benefits were the best part about this job, but looking back now that I have a decent job that doesnt leave me in tears every night I will gladly pay for my own insurrance

Cons

everything.. it counted against your "attendance" to use your EARNED paid sick time.. constant harassment and verbal abuse from customers, minimal notice of mandatory overtime, sometimes 14-16 hour work days.. learning you have to stay 2-4 extra hours about 5 minutes before you were scheduled to get off because of bad weather/storms, ridiculous rules like not being able to talk on your cell phone while walking even in the parking lot, unfair schedule bids and vacation bids that allowed seniority to choose first.. actually having to bid to see if you could get Christmas and like holidays off that should be standard.. i could go on, but finally, putting up with all this nonsense while making a pitiful $12 per hour.

Pros

While the pay is lower than industry average, the retirement benefits are good. Would love more than 3 weeks of vacation and insurance is a high deductible plan which is expensive.

Cons

Leadership makes careless decisions without taking into account the opinions of employees. Requiring employees to be in the office 3 days a week when the people I work with are not even located in the same state as me does not make any sense. I come into the office and take calls/send emails and have 0 interactions with anyone in the office.

Pros

Schedule, overtime, uniforms provided, safe job practises

Cons

You will start as an contractor, it might take you 5-6 years before or if they will move you to Duke side. There is no communication from upper management about posibilities of getting the Duke position. While working as a contractor, no benefits, raise is about 18 cents a year ( yes no joke), no bonuses, no promises of keeping the employment, no retirement. So, before you quit your career, which has all the benefits with retirement, raises, days off, payed holidays and get sucked into empty promises at Duke Energy think twice. It is very sad to say but it is not worth it......
