Exelon reviews

Great intentions on the outside. Huge company to work for - so a lot of silos. Always too many things going on at once, and due to silos of work, lots of duplicated efforts and not always the best communications between the groups. Low salary compared to industry, although, they don't let you know where you are in the salary band, but yet claim to be transparent. If you're not a favorite, you will not advance.

The amount of cons is far too long to list. They will give goals to hit and if you go above and beyond they won't give you a bonus that matches what you earned. This year they just took away over 50% of ComEds yearly bonus just because the Exelon board could, no actual reason was given. ComEd, not sure of other companies under Exelon, is known in the electrical industry for using and abusing their employees. One thing that should be under the pro is if you work for them a couple years anyone in the industry will hire you because they know you'll think their company is like heaven. Exelon HR is purely corporate oriented they couldn't care less how employees are treated. Health insurance keeps skyrocketing every year. Now new hires don't even get supplemental insurance when they retire and no pension anymore. If you're young and talented DO NOT waste your career with Exelon/ComEd. There are so many power companies that treat their employees far better. I know because I have many friends throughout the industry. Unfortunately I'm stuck with them until children graduate high school. This is a company that is going downhill. They will not pay you what you deserve and they never stop taking away what you've earned. Every year they chip away and give you less and less but want you to work more and harder. You have Sr VPs who are control freaks and who are nuts. You have people in positions like directors and high level managers that are only in the job because no one else wants the jobs so they constantly promote their least talented. The talented employees are too smart to take on higher level jobs with greater responsibility for almost no benefit in pay or any other aspect. Every position except if you're in the union is under paid and over worked. If you need a job it pays the bills, if you're starting your career only work for them if it's your only option.
