Decent Company but going downhill and quickly

Pros

Great team members, benefits are decent but not much more

Cons

Ever since Bill took over, it's been a spiral of ruining the flexible work schedule. Upper management doesn't care what lower employees are saying. It's all about Wall Street. Need to get rid of Ichan as he is going to tear this company apart just like the last one. People are dropping left and right. We already lost all of the experienced people. Huge workload also. Low pay compared to other companies. I'd recommend looking elsewhere.

Pros

Used to be a great company with a solid vision and direction towards the future

Cons

Senior Leadership (CTO) is driving the company into the ground. Outsourcing and bringing in only external hires for leadership, essentially removing all knowledge of the utility space from IT.

Pros

AEP use to be a great place to work. That's all....

Cons

Our network and systems are crumbling. I can't do my job. There is double-work with unrealistic deadlines. Too many 'chiefs' and not nearly enough workers. Leaders and managers are in constant meetings to talk about what needs to be done. All of their planning efforts are not working. Projects are behind, over budget, under-delivered. I really don't understand why the entire work force isn't up in arms. IT has been re-organized so many times, no one knows what they are supposed to be doing. It's so sad to see the destruction that has occurred over the past 3 years. My new computer doesn't work. IT Support group is horrible. Message to the central Ohio businesses; keep hiring from AEP. You will get dedicated and great workers!
