For a Large Company their political antics get old and repetative.

Pros

Once you are in there is a good job security. Multiple states to transfer to. Initial Pay is higher than most other companies. Room to advance with aging executives.

Cons

Although they preach diversity and inclusion, the company's ideals only include those who are willing to follow what the higher level managers want. This means that they pick and choose who they want based on how you act towards their ideals. This will ultimately keep the upper management culture the same which will prevent growth in different ideals in the future. Company chooses politics over employees. With a lack in personnel, work is still expected to be done, and the reason of "lack of manpower" is not allowed to be used. The company's pay increases less than inflation every year which means other companies that start out less will ultimately make more in the long run. Benefits have been decreasing for management overtime. Company only cares about stakeholders.

Good but Understaffed Company

Pros

The work is very dynamic and stimulating. Pay is fair compared to the industry. A visible effort to focus on D&I. Exelon is very supportive of career/professional development (pursuing degrees/licenses attending workshops/conferences etc.)

Cons

Not enough people to do the dynamic and stimulating work, leaving employees to each perform the work of 2 or 3 people. That means long hours and working nights/ weekends/ vacations. Also the work environment has become less collegial and cordial since I started a decade ago. Colleagues used to support each other and lend a helping hand. Perhaps because the volume of work is so high, there’s more of an “every man for themselves” attitude these days. Finally Exelon is the very definition of “it’s not what you know but who you know”. There’s a constant push for employees to focus on career development, but the truth is advancement is non-existent without the right leader advocating for you. And be careful who you’re aligned with, the person you think will be next year’s executive could be pushed out tomorrow.
