      Exelon, a leader of industry, burgeoning with oppurtunities - a place to start your professional career.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      With a shift in focus to energy independence, non-fossil energy sources are becoming increasingly important. Exelon Corporation is at the forefront of utility companies by providing its customers with a diversified set of energy sources, solar, hydro, natural gas, and nuclear. It's a company that is very environmentally conscious, has a wide range of career oppurtunities, and is consistently growing.

      Cons

      There are downsides to any company and Exelon is no exception. Employees can be expected to work more than the standard work week (50hrs+, nights, weekends), however, these sacrifices don't go unrewarded. Employees are recognized through company awards, bonuses, and significant raises.

      Rowe and VPs make too much

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Stability and close to home

      Cons

      While pay is good the level of work load has increased expodentially due to down sizing and an increase in bean counters in the management ranks. The bean counters must justify their existence via "PI"s which may or may not make sense. You wind up working 55 to 60 hour weeks for 40 hours of pay just to keep up.

      A brave, new post-merger world

      Supervisor
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -Career opportunities: I started working at the Baltimore utility branch of Exelon in 2001 as a customer call center representative. I have moved to a new job about every 24-36 months, always a promotion, always enriching my knowledge and skills. Now I'm a supervisor in a design and engineering area and I'm grateful for the varied opportunities available for all company employees. From special projects to volunteering to employee resource groups, there are so many ways to network and carve a path to success. -Generous tuition reimbursement: Since my undergraduate degree is in a liberal arts field I wanted to go back to school to get a formal business education. I'm pursuing my MBA from a great school in Maryland. The tuition reimbursement level for Masters programs at Exelon is exceptionally generous compared to my classmates' companies. -Feels like a family: I was concerned after the merger with Exelon that my utility company would lose our identity in this much larger corporation. My fears have not been founded. Every interaction I've had with the other utilities has indicated to me that they are each similarly a family, and both individuals and the corporation as a whole has been nothing but welcoming to the newest branch of the Exelon organization. -Flexible work schedule: Flex time is a wonderful benefit that most employees enjoy, shift working organizations notwithstanding. Generous amounts of PTO and flex time combine to make it very easy to achieve a satisfactory work-life balance.

      Cons

      -Change Management: The chief con that I have encountered is a lack of adequate emphasis on the importance of change management when it comes to integrating new systems or processes. The perception is that Exelon as a whole will push down new applications or changes to applications without ample notice to the business areas to allow proper change management strategies, or at times without enough time to revise processes that are impacted by the changes. If you're very agile this will bother you less, but as a utility we have a workforce that is both aging and unaccustomed to rapid change. This has been a struggle. -Over taxed leadership: From first line supervision in "the trenches" to the mid level leaders there is a prevailing sense that everyone has too much on their plates. It is easy for an employee to feel that their concerns are not a priority when leaders are often unavailable due to their full schedules of meetings. As a first line leader I wish I had more time to develop employees towards their career goals, help them determine what their goals are, or assist them in forming their own teams to work on process improvements. Sadly, the time is not there.
