Pros

They are very business focused, particularly on the bottom line. Pay is very competitive and in some field locations, particularly in Energy Delivery and Generation, provide some of the best jobs in the area.

Cons

On the corporate support end, decisions are often short-sighted, eliminating experienced personnel vs. newer hires. Some areas of the company have no job security.

Pros

Compensation is fair compared to the regon. The office is professional. It is nice to work in an office filled with good people.

Cons

FirstEnergy can require a lot of overtime. Overtime can require a lot of weekend face time. FirstEnergy does not always acknowledge the extra effort.

Pros

One of the best paying companies in Ohio. Opportunities are there, but you have to be willing to really seek them out. As always, you can be whatever you want to be but you must be engaged and willing to work for it.

Cons

Still a company of the good old boys. Opportunities for females are harder to come by. There are females in upper management but overall there is a tilt towards male management. A number of changes to benefits since the recession started. Not convinced they were need but they benefited the company at that time and will continue to provide benefit to company long term.
