Pros

I left Exelon for a two year stint at another utility. Big mistake. As the saying goes: "the grass isn't always greener..." Exelon, as one of the largest utilities, has interests all over the country. If you have the initiative, you can move.

Cons

Onboarding, even for a returning employee (like me) was a massive pain. A bit more structure in the progression path would be nice.

Pros

Managers and Directors are professional and very knowledgeable. It was a good learning experience. Flexible working hours and good salary. They mailed my bonus check in a few months after I resigned in early January....never heard of that. Also, they welcome diversity and treat everyone with respect. I only left because of relocation.

Cons

Benefits can be better. They offer pre-tax deductions for car parking and fitness membership. However, these benefits are completely reimbursed these days by many companies. Also, people keep it to themselves most of the time....they are there to work and leave and not interested in knowing you or having small talks every now n then. can be a pro for some but It was a con for me as it looked very mechanical.

Pros

Repetitive daily tasks if you do not like changes or challenges Low pressure at work Great place for people who are looking for retirement.

Cons

The relatively high review scores and extremely good reviews on glassdoor.com were most likely caused by some internal HR campaign. these are not reflecting what the real company is. The HR policy and the company culture make promotions are extremely difficult. Work life balance is difficult. You were required to work overtime without getting paid. Managers are out of reach and do not know what the daily operations are, only showing up in office once every two weeks. Technology used is very old and out of dated. Benefits are not great for new employees. The company asks employees to donate a lot of money to local charity every year, which is supposed to be a good thing. But the company does not match employees' donation, and the percentage of each department's donation becomes a KPI for managers, so every employee got pressure from managers to donate no matter what. Ethical?
