Pros

Overall benefits Pension plan Time off Volunteer work Some coworkers

Cons

No gender equality - my male coworker and I were hired together with equivalent previous experience for the same level job. Later on, I found out that the gap was close to 20% in the pay! When I addressed it with HR, they responded that the pay was within the range, and that was it! The range was about $30K - my salary was at the lower end, and his was in the high half - yes, that sounds almost equal! Promotion - not existent until HR opens a new role in the future, which was ridiculous Compensation - not market competitive Management - changing too often

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.
