Pros

Good benefits, flexible/hybrid, bonus plus profit sharing, interesting work, great people.

Cons

Two words: Storm duty. Especially the overnight shift. It's very disruptive to both your work and your personal life. Not sure how they expect someone who just woke up to suddenly go back to sleep (esp. someone with a family) and do storm duty 5pm-5am. No one can do that. They end up staying up the whole day/night. And then if the storm is bad enough and there are many outages, they have to repeat their night shift, night after night, until the outages are repaired. This job function should be outsourced.

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.
