Pros

The salary and benefits are great, though benefits have been declining/getting more expensive and raises become harder and harder to come by. Generally speaking, co-workers are very good people and enjoyable to work with.

Cons

-Upper management is completely out of touch with what is actually happening at their generating facilities. -Most corporate functions are moving to Texas, despite the fact that most of the generating units are in PA/MD/NJ -Communication is absolutely non-existant -Uncertain future, both due to environmental pressures and management/company outlook -Little to no room for advancement as downsizing continues; extreme favoritism is applied in the few promotions that do occur -Absolutely no effort to retain the good people working for the companay

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.

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