Pros

Good pay and benefits. Safe work environment. A good port during a bad economic storm... at least as long as the market for nuclear power continues.

Cons

matrixed organization, poor information sharing, senior management has no outside experience, lack of decisive leadership, no accountability. Single market with limited buyers... thus limited growth.

Pros

Cons

Too big for some, corporate HQ may not be exactly what everyone wants, difficult to move horizontally, but is possible.

Pros

Growing industry with potential for a strong future, especially for engineers and technical staff. Very good work/life balance programs (if your manager supports them) -- telecommuting, flexible schedules, etc. Above average health insurance benefits. Committment to "green" business practices, especially at new Cranberry HQ building (LEV parking, recycling, no styrofoam in the cafeteria, LEED-certified building, etc.)

Cons

Support functions have little room for career growth or movement. IT infrastructure lagging. Change is painfully slow. Few women in senior leadership roles (of 15-person executive staff, only one is a woman and no women on the board of directors).
