Good benefits, The worst supervisors

Business Outlook

Pros

4 weeks vacation, cheap health care, hybrid

Cons

MICROMANAGING, toxic positivity culture, if winter storm or fires in summer could work 12 hour shifts weeks in a row with no day off on a days notice. Customer focused, could care less about employees, forced to come into office even when you had COVID. Even when I had perfect stats of which there is at least 10 they keep track of they would still have monthly meetings asking how you were going to do more.

Portland General Electric Response

Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. We're glad to hear you appreciate our vacation policy, healthcare benefits, and hybrid work model. However, we are deeply concerned about the issues you raised regarding micromanagement, work conditions during extreme weather, and the handling of COVID-19 protocols.
