Pros

Watching the decisions management makes reassures you that you're not as screwed up as you thought you were.

Cons

Management at all levels. Company is full of supervisors but not a single leader. It almost seems like the entire power generation industry lined their managers up against the wall and Talen got last pick.

Pros

Smaller feel, good for prioritizing family and life outside of work. Not too competitive between co-workers. Great collaborative culture.

Cons

On the smaller side means less opportunities and more waiting for roles to open up and advance. I saw a lot of people leave for better opportunities.

Good opportunity to make good money through constantly available overtime.

Cons

12-hour swing shift leads to abysmal work/life balance.
