FirstEnergy reviews

Bad luck on the generation side & poor management decisions led to many cut-backs and low morale; much knowledge was lost through early retirements and not replaced. Top executives are lifers who have their head in the sand regarding climate change, EPA regulations, and other changes coming to the utility industry. Many workers are bitter as a result of various mergers over the years and perceived downward trajectory of the company. Northeast Ohio leaves a little to be desired, due to the negativity of the people there and poor weather.

Awful,you are micromanaged every SECOND of the day by all the supervisors and the hiring process is not fair.It is based on the favories getting hired first no matter what your stats are. No set hiring standards followed by all supervisors.Expect that when you are a contractor(temp worker) that you will be the ones that have to come in and work all holidays because they don't want to to pay the employee rate.Also alot of lazy power station supervisors that woukd rather talk about people ,rather than doing their job and answering questions that they are suppose to answer.
