Exelon reviews

Pay is extremely low compared to other positions in the industry. There are no talks of market adjustments, and we are instead told by our VP that "if we don't like it, leave". Impossible to attract and retain any talent due to the low pay, which results in very over worked situations. The company itself is no longer concerned with retaining internal employees, and would actually rather them leave to free up spending. Contractors are paid a premium, because its a completely different budget that does not affect profits. There are no benefits to being an internal employee. In addition to the low pay, abysmal "cost of living" adjustments every year, a large part of your salary is based on a bonus. The amount of the bonus, is reduced every single year "at the boards discretion" regardless of how well the company does, and how much the calculated bonus should actually be. Storm duty is required, and you are expected to drop everything you are doing or had planned, to go support storm. There is zero concern for your own family's requirements at this time, and if you do decline storm duty, your name will be tarnished and you will be publicly shamed via email in front of your regions leaders. Completely obsessed with DE&I, and will only acknowledge individuals and contracts if you are considered "diverse" per Exelons definition. Work from home was fantastic, and worked well for 2 straight years. Management is now forcing people to go to the office, which is based completely on their "feelings" and opinion of what work should look like.

The hierarchy is brutal. The average employee is frighted to speak to people who are C-Suite or senior leaders because it is frowned upon unless they invite you to speak to them. I'm told this is a legacy issue. The split of Exelon and Constellation has cause the company to become very "lean" and employees are working 3 or 4 roles with no recognition or pay bump. We are starting to see Exelon employees leaving and this trend is only expected to increase over the next six months. Senior leaders are aware of the issue, but rather than addressing the root cause, they are encouraging everyone to keep working hard for rewards some time later. Employees are not convinced of the rewards at a later date because, again, unless you are C-Suite, senior leader or manager, you don't see the rewards. The higher-ups are rewarded with the lower level staff being completely overlooked. In other words, Exelon's alleged inclusive behavior is proven otherwise by their actions.
