Pros

ComEd is a big company with a lot of opportunity. In my time there I was able to involve myself in a wide variety of high-profile projects even as an entry-level employee. Benefits were pretty good when I started but in talking to the people that have been hired after me it sounds like those benefits have been reduced.

Cons

The department that I was in had very little respect for work-life balance (emergency support not included) and was run by some old-fashioned leaders who were more interested in measuring the time on your timesheet than the actual tangible work you got done.

Pros

Great work-life balance and work-from-home option on Mondays and Fridays. Great place to learn about the industry, as ComEd/Exelon is a leader in its field. Generally a very positive work culture, with a few toxic people here and there - no different from any company. They also encourage you to move around to different roles if you so choose, which is really supportive and unique among companies.

Cons

Pay is FAR below the industry standard. Lots of PMs are jumping ship for $30K - $50K more pay doing the same job in other companies - including ComEd's consulting firms. And now, it appears that the annual bonus is going to be partially cut by the new "high performance workforce" initiative - thereby eliminating the final incentive to stay. Unfortunately, I have now joined the ranks of those looking for greener pastures myself. I'd love to stay, but I can't ignore the ability to make $40K more elsewhere.
