Pros

Freedom to grow in this company is limitless. Management uses common-sense when making business decisions. Management is flexible with the employees still pursuing degrees. Camaraderie is top-notch. The work environment is very healthy. Management identifies those with strengths and enables them to hone their craft.

Cons

The hours are constantly moving and the shift from Day to Night shift is constant. As a former military member I really do not have a problem with this, but it seems to be the biggest complaint.

Pros

FirstEnergy is a big company with a lot of growth that I've seen firsthand. Employees are helpful and all have the shared goals of keeping reliability of the electric grid. The pay is decent and stays competitive with the market rates as they do reviews consistently and evaluate. Its a great company that is trying to do better after misguided leads hip in the past

Cons

Some executive leadership vision is not shared with lower level employees. The recent transition from WFH back to the office has left employees such as myself wondering why its not role based WFH.

Pros

Decent compensation and benefits package. Pay is generally competitive for the market, and the benefits are adequate.

Cons

Leadership has fostered a culture of micromanagement and finger-pointing rather than collaboration and accountability. The company president has publicly conveyed a message that employees who are unhappy should simply leave, which reflects a concerning lack of interest in employee feedback and engagement. Employee satisfaction, work-life balance, and overall morale have noticeably declined over time. While financial performance appears strong, leadership seems more focused on satisfying investors and the board than addressing workplace culture and employee well-being.
