Pros

Duke Energy is a great place to learn and work as a co-op student. Ample opportunity to learn and advance in field of work/study is provided and many of the same benefits and opportunities available to regular full-time employees are also made available to co-op students.

Cons

The inability of local management to offer or guarantee a co-op student a full-time job upon graduation can be frustrating.

Pros

Strong job stability in a regulated utility environment, along with competitive pay and solid benefits package. My immediate team is genuinely supportive and collaborative — we work well together and have each other's backs. The work itself offers a sense of purpose given the essential nature of the industry.

Cons

Upper management operates with limited transparency and decisions flow strictly top-down, with little visibility into the reasoning behind strategic choices. The compensation structure does not differentiate for high performers — annual raises tend to land at or below inflation. Work groups across the department are heavily siloed, which limits cross-functional collaboration and slows knowledge sharing and adds frustration.
