Very Good Employer

Pros

I have been with PGW for 15 + years. The Company has gone through many changes during that time. Many of those changes are for the best. A few of those changes include adjusting non-Union salaries; development of a performance based rating system; and changes to certain policies. The Company has been remarkable during the pandemic, by allowing employees to work from home instead of being downsized. As a result of this, I am hoping more policy changes will allow employees to continue working from home when the pandemic is over. PGW has excellent benefits with a choice of a free HMO or a cost option. I am happy to see PGW become a much sort after employer.

Cons

Lack of dedication of new employees. Employees of a certain age only see PGW as a job; not a career. Reduce the Union probation period to 90 days. One year probation is very difficult. Change the Tuition Reimbursement eligibility from one year to six months. This will allow new employees to get a start on a college degree.

Pros

Awesome benefits (it's really good) Best management and great colleges (that's what keeps me in the company) Everyone is very friendly and whiling to help you

Cons

Mandatory to live in Philadelphia area!! Some employees left the company because of that. Also when i see job openings and find a good candidate among my friends, they ignore it because they live outside of philly (even if the salary and benefits are better than what they have ) Clock in! Why should salary people do clock in? Leave it for those who works hourly or for union guys. Or pay overtime like you do it for others. Building! It's OLD like everything in the building (rooms, cubicles, chairs, desks... you name it) Work from home! Why it's not an option for those who can do their work from home, it works for all USA but not for PGW?
