Pros

PGE is a great company to work for. The employees are some of the best in the Portland Metro area and many are involved in volunteer activities. We have great benefits and a leader in sustainable energy.

Cons

We are moving to position the company as a top leader in our industry so there are several changes happening in terms of technology. This can be challenging at times but the long term benefit will position us well.

Pros

Pleasant people to work with. Good environment. Respectful and dignifying leadership. Great culture. No large layoffs.

Cons

Workload varies and at times can be overwhelming due to large amounts of retirements. The 80/20 rule applies in some areas (20% of the employees do 80% of the work). However, the 20% are usually recognized with the many career advancement opportunities.

Pros

PGE is a family friendly, congenial place to work. Everything is relationship driven. The company also has very generous benefits packages.

Cons

The relationship-drive culture is nice in many aspects, but it also can be problematic. Accountability is low, things take longer than they should to get done, poor performers aren't fired. The good news is that these problems are understood by senior management and they are working to improve.
