Pros

This can be a good company to work for...if you avoid the call center. Management in this area needs a major overhaul.

Cons

PGE no longer hires full-time employees for their contact center. Instead, they only offer part-time hours, and the ability to be offered full-time status changes constantly. In the last 2 years, too many people have been let go for questionable reasons.

Pros

A highly relational culture with a good CEO in a relatively stable industry.

Cons

A weak officer team that plays games with employees. If someone trashes you, you rarely get a chance to set the record straight. A culture of gossip rather than directness and fact. Posturing is common and it gets in the way of healthy conversations. And their competitive posture will soon be eroded due to innovations that will surely disrupt their monopoly. They are struggling with shrinking budgets as we speak.
