Pros

Great pay, benefits and 401k. Ultimate job security - Once you're in, you're in for life.

Cons

1. Once you're in, you're in for life... Some people that should be fired are not and the competent employees have to pick up their slack. 2. Shady hiring practices. Promotions tend to be based on who you know, not what you know. Nepotism runs rampant at ComEd. There is a big push for diversity & inclusion, which isn't bad in and of itself. However, it appears that management focuses more on the D&I metrics than the merits of the applicants when filling a position.

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.
