Can be a great place depending on what department you work for
Pros
Great benefits, legacy employees still have pensions, Very innovative in the energy sector / strong union's to support the field workers
Cons
HR is/was borderline unethical as was the company (see the ComEd 4 as Exelon was the parent company). HR department was run purely as a cost center and in no way strategic More emphasis on intern hiring than focusing on quality full time hires Recruiters had req loads of 40 plus more often 80 plus - No ability to actually recruit vs. process applications and generate offers Sr. Leadership did not care about supporting individual contributor and only focused on annual bonus and cost cutting even when they knew it was not the right decision for the business. Ivory tower exec approach. CHRO in Chicago at the time never visited the floor with HR employees in 3+ years (this is not an exaggeration). Successful employees could be rated a high performer and then let go for "performance" with no explanation, I was fortunate to not be one of these employees but I witnessed it for multiple employees. Leadership avoids difficult conversations to performance manage Borderline reverse discrimination recruitment tactics - prior HR recruitment decks had verbiage that would support this
