WEC Energy Group reviews

Financial discipline to the extreme. Took away garbage cans and makes cleaning crew come in during the day so they don't have to pay for lights at night. Phone stipends have been taken away and clocks in conference rooms removed due to the expense of batteries. Employees are viewed as dollars in a chair. Very old-school methodologies in management style and technology. Extremely out-dated systems with very little investment in IT. IT budget has been flat for the last 10 years (Seriously!). No training budget for employees. High turnover. No employee retention programs (Christmas party, work events, lunches, training, employee development plans, etc..). Absolutely no communication throughout the company (need to know basis). Very silo'ed structure.

The initial onboarding training was just reading policies. Beyond that, you were already expected to know everything. There was not really any direct, hands-on training where you were shown how to use the tools on site for the job. Having worked with a SIEM or Vulnerability Management suite before is helpful, for example, but being punished for not knowing the intricacies of the new system you haven't seen before is not right. Management is also not honest with employees, often going behind your back to gossip about you with the rest of the club, and not giving you guidance to improve upon. If you are put on a PIP at this company, start applying elsewhere, because they're going to fire you 2/3rds of the way through it, no matter what you're doing to improve.
