      Pros

      Great benefits. Opportunities to work and acquire a multitude of experiences. Company operates in eleven different states offering a broad range of opportunities.

      Cons

      Most opportunities are and are governed at the corporate headquarters. Talent development is challenged which lends an opportunity for improved succession planning.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Pay is good and the work life ballence if good for most employees. As an engineer in the stations group I work very little over time and have a generous amount of vacation days and the option to "buy" up to 40 additional vacation hours each year. Bonuses to fluctuate from year to year but are depenable.

      Cons

      There are plenty of opertunities for lateral movemnet within the Tulsa location, but being promoted above a supervisor posision requires knowing the higher ups in Ohio or moving to Ohio. Its a running joke in the company that the best way to be promoted its to leave for another company and reapply for the promotion you wanted at AEP as an outside hire.
