Pros

Work can be exciting and challenging.

Cons

Many exciting projects cut for finding. Jobs that can easily be done remotely are now required to be in person, even though teams are geographically dispersed.

Thank you for sharing your honest feedback. We appreciate learning about your experience. We’d like to clarify that our hybrid work model of reporting to an office from Tuesday to Thursday and working remote on Monday and Friday was implemented in February 2024 and we have recommitted to following that model. Our spirit of collaboration, drive for continuous improvement and innovation is an essential part of our company culture and this model allows us to continue to operate at the highest level. If there is any confusion around our continued hybrid working schedule, please reach out to your human resources contact.

Pros

Salary and benefits. Manager dependent work location flexibility.

Cons

Advancement is next to impossible. They hire a lot of first level managers externally. In order to become a manager one must leave and then come back. Promotion in place is non-existent. I’ve been stuck at the same level for years while receiving high year end reviews. They work you like a dog. Heaven forbid an unknown/undocumented pre-existing condition creates an outage you will get raked over the coals. All-hands meetings are parties with music playing and everyone praising each other. I have better things to do than to sit on an hours long cheerleading event. Work/life balance isn’t respected even though upper management says it is. Disgruntled? No, just disappointed and disillusioned so much so that I am considering early retirement and going to work part time at Best Buy. They also base a portion of your performance appraisal on your activity within their culture groups & volunteering. To me this is a personal choice of where and when I spend my free time. **Big brother watches everything. Good friends were fired without warning for violating the acceptable use policy, which is as clear as mud.

Thank you for sharing your experience as an Exelon employee. We are pleased to hear that you are satisfied with the compensation and benefits package provided. We regret that your experience has not been as positive with regard to seeking a promotion. We encourage you to create a development plan with your manager that identifies both your goal(s) and a plan to acquire any skills and competencies that may be needed in a higher-level role. We understand your reluctance to volunteer during your off-time. This is why we post several opportunities each month to volunteer during the work day. These events can be found on the Powering Communities section of the company intranet. Thank you again for your review and we hope these suggestions are helpful.
