Pros

Good company to work for, has excellent benifits and bonus pay. Saleries are acceptable and in line with the rest of the utility industry.

Cons

Plant closings and employee layoffs have created an atmosphere of unsatisfaction amongst the workforce. Employees are constantly looking over thier shoulder what is going to happen next.

Pros

Benefits packages are decent as expected from a large company BUT incentives are diminishing as company tries to cut costs.

Cons

If in Union then work-life is great. If in management/non-union, life work has potential to be very work-sided. Month long refueling outages every year lead to a terrible quality of life for a month as you work 12 hr shifts, 6 days a week for a month, and every year you stand liable to be placed on the night shift for the duration of the refueling outage. You are on-call every 4 weeks for one week to support emergency planning, no compensation is giving for this duty as it is deemed an employment "requirement". This employment requirement makes it difficult to plan vacations because you are expected to be within a 1 hr response time during your on-call week. Aging work force that is used to doing things status-quo and does not embrace change for the better.
