Pros

Great and helpful attitude of staff, management and co-workers. No weekends as a temp, and medical benefits were offered. Although part time, you usually work 40 hours for months at a time. It is a long term temp assignment typically. Pretty straight forward training and expectations, although it is a nice amount of information to learn about the company and processes, you shouldn't feel in the dark about what is expected of you. Last to be called for storm duty (16 hour emergency shifts). Amazing starting pay and goes up annually. Appears to be great options for growth in the company.

Cons

Inbound call center opened 24 hours, so may get an undesirable shift and weekends if selected permanently. Mandatory overtime for permanent CSRs. Temps don't know when they will be turned over to permanent, if at all. This past season, no one was chosen due to budget reasons. Can be stressful taking 100 plus calls a day about utility outages, bill payments, and payment plans as customers aren't always friendly, but for those with the right back ground this is truly is the holy grail of CSR jobs.

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.
