Pros

Pay, benefits, and retirement benefits are above average.

Cons

I have been with Exelon as a member of management for several years and am extremely frustrated. I have interviewed for several positions out there only to be disappointed time after time. In almost every instance I have been the most qualified, educated, or experienced candidate but was not selected. I am a solid employee that is dedicated, loyal, and respected by my peers. So, why do I keep getting passed over? It's primarily because of nepotism or the good old boy system that gets me every time or the excuse that they "had" to find a job for an employee. In the two times that has happened to me, the person beating me out had a parent working for Exelon....Hmmm....shocker. Compensation is based on who you know and not experience or past accomplishments. My advice is that you shouldn't expect anything based on hard work because it doesn't matter. What matters is if your mommy or daddy or buddy works there. If so, definitely apply to Exelon.
