PECO reviews

PECO underground has a culture of abuse, disrespect, incompetence, and backstabbing. Underground employees spend more time insulting one another, and attempting to throw one another under the bus, than they do actually working on electrical circuits. The level of employee entitlement is absolutely insane, and the fact that grown men making 6 figures a year, with no college education, who spend at least 2 hours on each end of their shift eating and goofing off, will spend the rest of their shift complaining about how "hard" their job is, is a disgrace. If you ever wondered why your PECO bill is so high, it's because most people are spending more energy trying to game the system, than they are trying to do quality work. First class mechanics are incredibly negative, and foster an attitude in the apprentices that the only way to be successful, is to be miserable, catty, and a cheat. PECO itself will refuse to get rid of those apprentices who are proven to be incompetent, and both management and HR are to blame. Numerous employees have repeatedly been involved in motor vehicle accidents, destroyed equipment, and failed skill assessments, yet are pushed through their apprenticeships, because HR is more concerned with having warm bodies, and fulfilling diversity initiatives, than hiring skilled and competent workers. PECO's HR department seemingly wants other employees to get injured, because they don't want to fire those employees who endanger everyone else. Management is largely toothless, and refuses to follow through. A number of supervisors are openly racist, and will only speak to those employees who are the same race as them, and making comments about other employees being unable to perform tasks due to their race. Supervisors rarely manage their teams, and are more concerned with keeping themselves out of the line of fire. Team members routinely harass one another, and supervisors allow it to continue, because they are too spineless to put their foot down.
