Pros

Benefits, co-workers, location, cafeteria, again friendly co-workers

Cons

No work life balance during storm mode. I walked 2 miles in the snow to make it to work or I would be fired. Be prepared to spend days in a hotel during high outages. You get less than 2 seconds in between calls to breathe or take a sip of water. Turnover is high!! I worked a 3rd shift where I never saw my supervisor. Team leads ran the team. Micro managed on adherence. Non existent breaks. They also added gas calls and progress energy after the merger and only offered $1.50 raise which is an insult after we were forced to train for all these new systems. New reps need to be hired starting at $18+ with all the work they have to do.

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.
