Pros

Collaborative culture with a sense that people want to do the right thing for customers. Leadership communicates the “why” behind decisions, particularly around long-term investments and system resilience.

Cons

Such broad, important work means balancing many stakeholder perspectives, which can slow decision-making. Unrealistic public expectations and public accountability can feel demanding, but that comes with the territory of public service.

Pros

Working at PGE has been a rewarding experience. The work directly supports communities and keeps essential services running safely and reliably. Decisions are made rooted in the focus of safety, the customer, and reliability. The benefits package is highly competitive with the market and there is opportunity for career growth.

Cons

At times on call or irregular hours due to outages, emergencies or severe weather conditions. Working in a regulated industry means there are decisions (like legislature) that impact you and additional public visibility to the work you do.
