Pros

PPL pays well and has facilities all across eastern PA. It is easy to deflect responsibility to others if you want to avoid responsibility.

Cons

Poor culture, poor accountability on the correct people, throws away money on useless consultants.

Pros

Fantastic Pay. Decent benefits. Challenging work kept the days flying by constantly learning. If you can get into the union, you'll make great money and have a relativity good stable career. At this point though, anyone else should use this place only as a stepping stone or short term.

Cons

On the outside looking in, this company seems amazing. Highly recognized in the power distribution sector. However, it’s not much different than any other corporation wrapped up in itself only trying to look good to the public and shareholders. Corporate environment. Tons of programs, processes (good and bad), and bureaucratic garbage. They’ll talk all day about how much they care about you and your safety. Fact is, managements only covering themselves. Knowing someone on the inside would be greatly beneficial. There’s a few good people and the union brothers, other than that, NO one cares about you here. You’re disposable. A revolving door for management. Employed less than 1 year and had 4 managers. Management demonstrated an underlining of constant fear and showed NO INTEGRITY.

Pros

Its a job is about all I can say.

Cons

Hostile culture. Any type of dissent or rating concerns, legitimate as it may be, is not tolerated. Mangers often are ignorant of what their workers actually do. They are not advocates of their reports. High management turnover. Management often has an unrealistic view of what is needed to compete projects. Conflicts of interest and questionable behavior on the part of some senior management. Experienced employees are not appreciated.
