      Pros

      People generally are nice and some are pretty talented.

      Cons

      If you don't know the right people it doesn't matter about the quality of your work or your skills, you probably won't get promoted, at least for a very long time.

      Old-fashioned utility constantly cutting costs. Decent co-workers and pay & benefits are good for Ohio.

      Pros

      Work/life balance is pretty good for corporate positions. Job security is high for core utility T&D functions. Easy to get to know many co-workers due to slim staffing across the board.

      Cons

      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.
