PSEG reviews

This is an old company with a command and control mentality alive and well. 401K/Cash Balance Pension plan is not very competitive compared to other energy companies. Benefits used to be better but are now becoming market based. Pay is good starting out, but if you are coming in with experience get what you can up front because promotions become painfully slow and political, based more on age/favorites than production. It is a utility so work life balance can be very bad at times. Storm duty, Unit issues, etc are par for the course. Technical personnel are not paid overtime even if they are required to be there to get work ready for the Union personnel making double time.

There is inequity amongst areas of the company. Some people are allowed flexible schedules and work from home options while others are not. During storms, those in the utility find themselves working long hours. Some managers want you to be on call all the time. It is very difficult for people in certain roles to move up within the company, and it can be difficult to switch departments. This is a unionized & non-unionized organization, which can be challenging. Corporate culture varies greatly from department to department.
