Pros

PPL is a very nice place to work. I have pride in the fact that I work for a company with such rich history, mostly wonderful people, and a culture that supports work-life balance.

Cons

It's a lean organization, so there are not many opportunities for promotion once you hit a certain level. However, senior leadership is aware of this and is actively looking make improvements, such as getting exposure to different groups, etc.

Pros

I'm really enjoying my adventure at PPL. The mission of protecting the power grid is one that is easy to get your hands around, thus everyone understands what they are working for and why. Leadership is driving a number of really fun transformation initiatives within the business units and in IT that are extremely valuable for my resume. Last but not least, I really enjoy the work/life balance that the company attempts to provide everyone. I highly recommend considering opportunities at PPL Electric Utilities.

Cons

If you've never worked at a Utility, there's a lot to learn, however, the long-term employees are more than happy to share their knowledge. Change seems to be a constant as well, so if you want a boring, mundane opportunity, don't look here.
