      Not what it used to be.

      Pros

      Good pay and benefits along with a defined pension.

      Cons

      The new executive leadership ruined this once great company. Employees used to be listened to for feedback and were valued as individuals. Now, executive leadership asks for feedback and doesn't act on it and every employee is just a number. Recent cultural surveys were a joke. The 'virtuous cycle' is essentially a downward spiral. Random layoffs are the new norm. One can question the CEOs loyalty considering he came from Blackstone, which owns 49.9% of FirstEnergy Transmission. Every decision benefits the executive leadership team and shareholders; not customers or lower level employees.

      Pros

      FirstEnergy is a big company with a lot of growth that I've seen firsthand. Employees are helpful and all have the shared goals of keeping reliability of the electric grid. The pay is decent and stays competitive with the market rates as they do reviews consistently and evaluate. Its a great company that is trying to do better after misguided leads hip in the past

      Cons

      Some executive leadership vision is not shared with lower level employees. The recent transition from WFH back to the office has left employees such as myself wondering why its not role based WFH.

      Pros

      Nothing leadership has ruined the company

      Cons

      The new executive team is awful and doesn't care about employees, they're preparing for a merger with AEP.
