CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

P.G.E. knows how to take care of their employees. They are very safety conscious.

Cons

In recent years they have started applying benefits that are set up for the next generation of workers. People that plan on staying at the job a few years before they move on to the next.

Diversity and Inclusion off the rails, no pay for experience,

Business analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good colleagues and interesting work, the CEO is great

Cons

Diversity and inclusion goals are off the rails and a way for management to keep salaries low when you have a ton more experience. Time-based promotions push unqualified and inexperienced people into pay grades that then limit interviewees coming to the company with more experience. The job postings are pie in the sky for the money they are paying and those in the jobs wouldn't make it past the HR screeen if they reapplied.

Solid company but high satisfaction depends on your management

Business analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Long-term outlook to provide lasting results. I always felt that in the end, our work always got back to helping the customer or lowering costs.

Cons

Kind of clicky. Going through a lot of modernization changes on relationships with employees, which I didn't always appreciate. Advancement can be slow in some departments.
