Pros

Exelon has a number of subsidiary companies, each with various positions and opportunities. Want to work in Marketing for a couple of years? Go for it. Now you say you want to work with political stakeholders? No problem. Wait…..how about trying your hand at managing a Call Center? We’ve got a spot open. There are very few companies out there that allow you to move from department to department, career to career, without having to jump ship. In fact, learning new skill sets is HIGHLY encouraged. I really appreciate the fact that I can move around the company every few years and try my hand at something new and exciting.

Cons

Rightfully so, the company's number one priority is to keep the lights on for our customers. Meaning, if there is a storm or some type of adverse event, EVERYONE is expected to pitch in and help mobilize crews to restore power. We refer to this work as "storm duty". Thus, if you are "on duty" when a storm hits, you do not work your 9-5 job and instead work to restore service. This could easily mean 12 to 16 hour days depending on the gravity of the destruction. Plus, you still have to make up all the work left undone at your 9-5.

Pros

Exelon offers its employees many growth opportunities. The company has a great development program. When I first accepted a management position they sent me to a 1 month development program to develop my leadership skills. I have worked in many areas of the industry including instrument and controls, operations, mechanical maintenance, and generation dispatch. The company has always been supportive of all of my goals. When I expressed that I wanted to work in our commodities trading business unit I was allowed to shadow trade floor operations. Exelon also supported my goal by funding a significant portion of my MBA. I currently work to coordinate our physical position to support the traders in all of our regions. Exelon capitalizes on diversity. I am a perfect example. I have worked in several types of plants in many different roles. Exelon uses my diverse background to help our commodities organization to work more coherently with our generation fleet. Exelon works to support the communities we serve. The company is actively engaged in volunteer programs. I have personally had the opportunity to work with students at technical colleges and environmental groups though my affiliation with Exelon. Exelon is well balanced. We have a good mix of regulated utilities, retail power and merchant generation. This mix provides endless opportunities for employees that are willing to try new things. The company is aggressively looking to expand which brings more opportunities. Exelon has a great benefits package. We have a pension, 401K, employee stock purchase program, wellness programs, many types of clubs and social groups, great health benefits, and great vacation policies. I love working here. I have actively recruited personal friends to work for the company.

Cons

One of the Cons at Exelon is that I work a lot. If you are looking to work a forty hour week this may not be the place for you. That being said, Exelon and my immediate supervisor have been very supportive of working remotely or at satellite location to improve my work life balance. Another potential Con is that the company is very widespread. Sometimes to achieve your goals you may be required to relocate.
