Pros

It is one of the few good paying jobs in my area of the Ohio Valley. Many of the employees are good people.

Cons

Poor management to say the least, constant promotions of unqualified people. Lack of people, leadership, constant forced overtime. Poor working conditions, company first people, last policy. Management doesn't know company policy and/or laws. No honest or ethical people in management

Pros

AEP has so many great reasons to work there. The management and team I work with are so competent. I was afraid going into such a big company, but it has not been an issue at all. I get paid so well. The benefits are great and the career developement and safety standards are world class.

Cons

Sometimes management seems to only care about safety standards but I know that is necessary seeing as how we have to keep things safe in a not always so safe workign environment.

Pros

There is a lot of opportunity for growth at AEP. The benefits are phenominal.

Cons

Growth can sometimes be limited in the shared services part of the company. Having worked in SS & now in one of the Operating companies I believe that the management style (in the Opco) is more geared towards developing you as a benefit to the company rather than just what you can do for your current department.
