      Pros

      Good benefits; diverse business units

      Cons

      Exelon is a company in complete conflict. On one hand, they tout themselves as diverse, inclusive and 'zero tolerance' for inappropriate behavior. In reality, culture is dominated by white males who are highly exclusive due to the highly political culture and inappropriate behavior is tolerated because Senior Management turns a blind eye to it when it's not politically advantageous for them to act. Previous post Director in Chicago office was spot on. We have quality leaders who are leaving or looking to leave because they are not politically connected and are not males.

      Very low pay and it's all about statistics, not people

      Pros

      Great benefits if you actually make enough money to use them

      Cons

      The benefits offered are great but you can't afford to use them because your salary doesn't cover anything but bills (if that). HR doesn't care about people, only making sure they look good on sites like this one. You can make a lot less with an MBA or another advanced degree than someone who only has a high school degree. Not enough money to invest in savings, retirement, or any of their other plans. HR will lowball you as much as possible. You need an inside track or a friend who is in management to make a decent salary. The company has no problem spending money when they feel it is relevant, but are quick to plead poverty otherwise. They put up videos on YouTube for recruiting purposes but don't believe a word. It's all about statistics, not about investing in people.

      Minority Senior Engineer (over 10 years with BGE/20+ years in Engrg)

      Pros

      The utility industry as a whole is a very stable work environment, BGE will be celebrating 200 years in 2016. As for the work culture here, I can say there are pockets of exceptional leaders (most of whom are retiring) and pockets of those individuals that should not be leaders and are extremely toxic. Our HR department is well aware of these individuals and for whatever reason do nothing to correct the issues. It is sad really, as I have watched very seasoned and talented individuals leave this company due to these toxic individuals. My advice to anyone looking at this company for employment is to do your research and ask someone within the organization where to work and who to work for....avoid the drama and possibility of having to look for another job (internally or externally).

      Cons

      As for diversity and inclusion...it is merely a façade that Exelon "owns" and mandates down to the business entities (nice try but this is not working). I am a seasoned female engineer and can say with great disappointment, that we are not even close to operating in the 21st Century (there are only 16 female engineers @ BGE at the Individual Contributor Level- this is 0.4% of the BGE employee base....wow, really?). As mentioned above, there are pockets of toxic leaders in this company that do not recognize work-life balance nor the needs of single/widowed parents...if these leaders could realize that having young children is such a blessing and truly a short period in ones life, they could retain and grow very valuable company assets. I have heard of disheartening stories within this company that young mothers have been forced to leave the company because their leaders did not allow flexible working hours for childcare and/or health issues....truly disappointing and understanding why FMLA exists. Other issues exist with the "less seasoned" generation's attitude of "entitlement" and beliefs that they should be senior employees/leaders after only <5 years of service/work experience...BGE is bypassing and losing valuable employees/leaders because they pacify this generation's mentality and promote these people to incompetence.
