Pepco Holdings reviews

Good pay, easy workload, headquarters in a good location and metro accessible. I learned a lot in the first few years. Rotation program for young engineers helped people get a broader view of the company. Some individuals (especially those in more senior positions) are incredibly hard workers and very smart people. My managers always tried to improve the office culture and reward their high achieving employees as best they could to attract and retain the best workers and avoid the cons listed in this review. I had great supervisors and managers who genuinely cared about me and my career whether that was at Pepco or somewhere else. I am very grateful to have started my career with those people. This Pro is a huge one but also comes with a huge caveat: If you want to work hard and can put up with other people getting by without doing work, then Pepco can be a great place to get ahead. Even a little bit of initiative gets recognized because there is so little of it. Definitely a place where working hard and having initiative is a great blue ocean strategy and will quickly have your name known to upper management across the company. Upper management wants to see more of these people. Just be sure you can take the crushing weight of that apathetically lazy blue ocean while you're at it and you'll rise through the ranks in no time. (This is a pre-Exelon merger review)

On-the-Job Training: There are countless employees here who have amassed decades of experience from which younger employees can tap and learn. Pepco was "founded" in 1906 so there will never be a shortage of information or knowledge. 100% Tuition Coverage: PHI cares about the education of its workforce, especially its Engineers. In fact, they care so much that they'll pay for your college degrees and more. Who does that?! Benefits: PHI's benefit package is top notch. Medical, Vision, Flex Spending, Dental, Life Insurance, etc. Also included is the aforementioned tuition supplement, company discounts, and the gratitude of customers when power is restored. Salary: As an entry-level engineer at PHI, the salary offered is quite satisfying. As an entry-level employee at PHI period, the salary is quite satisfying. Sure, like everywhere else, some promotions are muddied by politics but for the most part people are regularly promoted. Opportunity for Growth: With the many complaints come opportunities for growth. Wherever there is a need, an employee can fill that void and rise through the ranks accordingly. There have been people that have reached top management positions in only a few years due to them taking advantage of a combination of special projects, tuition assistance, and good ol' fashioned networking.
