Pros

Good health care and most roles are hybrid.

Cons

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.

Pros

Once you are in there is a good job security. Multiple states to transfer to. Initial Pay is higher than most other companies. Room to advance with aging executives.

Cons

Although they preach diversity and inclusion, the company's ideals only include those who are willing to follow what the higher level managers want. This means that they pick and choose who they want based on how you act towards their ideals. This will ultimately keep the upper management culture the same which will prevent growth in different ideals in the future. Company chooses politics over employees. With a lack in personnel, work is still expected to be done, and the reason of "lack of manpower" is not allowed to be used. The company's pay increases less than inflation every year which means other companies that start out less will ultimately make more in the long run. Benefits have been decreasing for management overtime. Company only cares about stakeholders.

Pros

Pay is the only pro, but it comes at a severe cost.

Cons

Extremely toxic workplace. New employees are hazed by peers and management through constant barrage of insults and degrading comments. A large part of the culture revolves around "when the cat is away, the mice play." Sexist workplace where females get an automatic pass on mistakes, automatic promotions, while males constantly get put down. Favoritism is rampant. It's a good ol' boy's club. Rumors are spread about everybody. Everyone backstabs everyone to get ahead.
