      Pros

      AEP was an awesome company when I joined. I worked with smart people, roles were defined, busy work kept to a minimum. It wasn't perfect but I felt it was the best employer I have worked for. Everyone worked hard and we were dedicated to providing excellent customer experience. To this day, I am not clear on what our Board was thinking when they blew up the organization. I guess you just don't know what you have until it's gone.

      Cons

      Today, our systems are incredibly slow, very buggy and require data be re-entered several times. That means, every time the data changes in one system, you have to manually change it in every other system. There are tons of off-line spreadsheets and graphs to help us track metrics. Our new CEO indicated his intent to standardize and improve processes across the enterprise. That was months ago....

      Pros

      Everyone works well as a team. Truly want you to have the tools for success.

      Cons

      CEO rules with an iron fist. He only cares about shareholder value. Whenever he talks about safety, employees, or customers it is obvious he’s just paying lip service.
