Pros

Great coworkers. That’s really the only thing that is great about this company. Nothing else is positive to say here.

Cons

Benefits, management, time policy, systems. This company really needs a makeover. Peoples gas is the biggest scam in the city of Chicago. All successful companies treat their employees with respect and dignity, not here though. There are a lot of things that are done on a daily bases that violate rules but no one cares. Customer service is horrible and management won’t work on improving it. Systems are badly designed and people in charge have no clue. Innovation and raising of issues is non existent. Ideas are shot down and most people continue the old way of working. Construction and O&M collaboration is non existent and it’s causing the Chicago rate payers a lot of money. I cant wait to bring this scam out when I am out of this company.

Pros

Their compensation package was decent with market rates

Cons

They lead by fear. Each of their documents start out that you are an at will employee, and can be terminated at any time. Every policy document reminds you multiple times, that this can lead to termination, and they continuously pound that in your head. There is no room for innovation. It is the We Energies way or the highway. They are accountants, that care about the shareholder, and do whatever it takes to satisfy wallstreet. Employees don't exist. Customers don't exist. They throw a carrot every year by paying good, but that is it. The only motivation they have is money. They could careless about any other leadership and truly caring for the employee or customer. Stay clear..There are way better companies to work for.
