The pay rate is great compared to other industries and the are growth opportunities you can move between different departments, increasing your knowledge base. Benefits are great Coned is also one of the few last companies to offer a pension, to its union workers, along with a 401k.

Cons

There are no set days for personal or sick days and you may incurr a 'frequency' which goes on your record if you call in sick.

Pros

- New York - best city in the world! - At least what you do results in a product people need (electricity)! - Strong culture

Cons

- Hard to break in to the "insiders" club - Poor internal IT services - Facilities at HQ are more than a little antiquated - Military style decision making - chain of command is sacrosanct - Emphasis on operations results in strange payment traditions - first line supervisors make more than some senior managers in staff positions
