Pros

Its a good place to work, the benefits are great, and they are willing to help out or work with an individual because they understand retaining good talent is better then continuously cycling in new talent.

Cons

First and Foremost the State of Illinois, then other little factors would be there is a lot of work that needs to be completed with a shortage of bodies. Also within the company there can be Silos of individuals or groups that lack proper communication with other sections of the company.

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.
