Pros

Exelon pays engineers very well. A Sr. Engineer can make between 60-110K. An Engineering Supervisor up to 135K. Every year we get b/w a 3-5% raise and our target bonus for a Sr. Engineer is 15%. You should get 15% if you are a solid performer and can get up to 5% more if you are a high performer. This bonus also takes into account station and overall company performanace. The benefits are also good. 3 weeks vacation, 401K (6% match), Cash Balance Pension Plan, 5 floating holidays, 6 sick days.

Cons

The work load is always demanding. Sufficient resources at the engineering level are never up to the necessary amount. Being on call can be stressful especially during an emergent activity.

Pros

Absolutely none at all - ZERO.

Cons

Executive leadership is out of touch. Leadership is all talk - the company claims their employees are what's most important, yet at the same time IT project work continues to go to contractors leaving employees at risk. Do NOT trust anything a senior leader says. Pay is below market. Ridiculous in office requirements which are absolutely useless. Change management - the worst I have ever seen.
