Pros

The minions at Duke Energy are great people who just want to make a difference. They are great people who truly care about one another.

Cons

The leadership at Duke Energy is stuck in the old typical regulated utility market with no idea how to lead a 21st century company into the future. They lack vision and only value one thing, their bottom line.
