Pros

Good pay and family benefits

Cons

Either you drank the cool aid were one of them or if you didn't you would have a target. They preached safety but had a get it done however attitude when no one was around. Then there was the cooking of the books. One breath they tell you to push timesheets to capital by ficticiously adding a capital item to material list. Did that for years under upper management direction. Have some saved emails from upper management that fired them off without thinking. I could go on but bottom line terrible place to work, no work life balance, untrustworthy upper management. Oh and did I mention the fake safety records. Unreported injured employees, damaged to company vehicles that I was told to sweep under the rug. A real class act... Not

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.
