Portland General Electric reviews

The people who have spent their careers here are very uninformed about successful management strategies evolving over the last 20 years. You're treated like a new hire until you've been here for 10 years. By that time, they've usually beaten all of the initiative out of you and you are content to collect a paycheck and wait for direct orders. If you're looking for a company where you can retire in place, this is it.

-Most of the employees are in their 60's, very unmotivated and can care less about anything - just waiting for their retirement -Even younger folks are turning into sleepy zombies after a few years -Manager are good at their technical work, but absolutely worthless at managing people, let alone helping you develop and grow in your career -People been working together for 30 years and are not very welcoming to new comers -All the training is in the form of tribal knowledge, gotta know then right people to get anything done -Seen people reading books, knitting and even dozing off (!) in their cubes in the middle of the work day -Opportunities for advancement are based on time in the position and not merit Overall - very low energy place with a bunch of nice but aging people, which makes you feel like you are forced to spend 8 hours a day in the same room with your grandparents day after day after day after day....
