Pros

Fairly high compensation with respect to other companies. Good amount of time off, is asked for during initial interview. A ton of practical hands-on experience. Lots of knowledge available through older employees.

Cons

Very little training in regards to job. All of the experience in the company is retiring leaving all new engineers with little time for training. Management is continually in meetings. Don't expect to see your supervisor for the same reason. Limited amount of feedback, mostly negative.

Pros

Job security Good pay relative to the industry

Cons

Being a manager at an Entergy plant means you sacrafice your personal life to the plant. Managers spend most of their time in meetings with other managers. Little time to manage people. This is leading to declining performance trends at the plants. In nearly 2 decades of working for the company had less than 6 actual performance reviews. Poor management style and people skills are rewarded by executive management.

Pros

I felt like Entergy enabled me to take on new challenges, and I feel like I contributed to the company. I learned so much while working there. They were more than willing to let me get out to the field which was a big plus.

Cons

Depending on where you live, the work locations aren't the best. Working in power generation means working at sites that are away from the city.
