Pros

Competitive salary, tuition reimbursement, benefits.

Cons

Extremely political; if you're not willing to play the game and kiss a&&, forget about upward mobility. Zero work life balance. 10 hours in the office is not enough to keep up with job duties. Expect to work weekends and evenings to keep your head above water. Everyone is on storm duty so if there is a storm and your team is on call, expect to work 12 hour shifts around the clock including weekends with no overtime pay; just straight pay. Very high stress environment. Managers do little to nothing to develop employees.

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.
