Pros

Georgia Power have some decent benefits, not the best in the industry. If you are looking for a stable job you can retire from, this is the company for you.

Cons

It is hard to work your way up without knowing people in the top levels. It is very much a "good ole boy" network in this company. Nepotism is alive and well there.

Pros

People - some of the best. Committed to work hard and do the right thing

Cons

Possible to get stuck in a job. Ended up leaving for a much better opportunity elsewhere after being passed over for a promotion and a lateral opportunity

Pros

Job security is pretty much guaranteed as long as you continue to do at least average work (this is a pro for some people). Depending on which department you are in, your coworkers are more of your family away from family. The base pay is decent, and the yearly performance pay is top-notch. Most of the employees have a strong faith based value system.

Cons

There are no incentives to try to do better than average. The saying of "it's not what you know, it's who you know" was never more true than at this company (i.e. do an average job, but know all the right people and you are golden). There is too much of a focus on the leadership pipeline and not enough of development of employees in their current positions.
