Pros

Generous PTO and they still offer a pension.

Cons

New senior leadership has had a negative impact on employee morale. Layoffs/cutting jobs, cutting bonuses, forcing return to the office, spending money on the wrong things, and prioritizing contractors over employees are just some of the recent decisions by management. It's not the same company it used to be.

Pros

FirstEnergy is a big company with a lot of growth that I've seen firsthand. Employees are helpful and all have the shared goals of keeping reliability of the electric grid. The pay is decent and stays competitive with the market rates as they do reviews consistently and evaluate. Its a great company that is trying to do better after misguided leads hip in the past

Cons

Some executive leadership vision is not shared with lower level employees. The recent transition from WFH back to the office has left employees such as myself wondering why its not role based WFH.
