A solid employer, a bit bureaucratic

Pros

As a major regional utility, PGE is a stable employer. Its people are talented and passionate and everyone seems to love the company and for the most part, their jobs. They have a great commitment to diversity and are very focused on improvements based on the results of their employee engagement survey.

Cons

If you love meetings, you will love PGE. It seems a bit constrained by regulatory requirements, but that's the Enron legacy. Ratepayer dollars need to go with accountability.

Pros

Lots of opportunity for advancement. Retain truly talented individuals. Great comprehensive training. Pays well for market value. Good benefits and PTO. Many resources to succeed. A lot of motivated co-workers. Large focus on company values and safety.

Cons

Frequent large changes occur in this position with not a lot of warning or say in matters that may effect you. Unless you have really excelled in a customer service position before (and I mean really!) this may not be the job for you. PGE expects the best and the brightest and they are well compensated for it
