Pros

There was no dress code at the time I worked here. Nice coworkers, but this is location/branch dependent.

Cons

In harms way way too often and met with nothing but shrugged shoulders a lot of the time Blatant favoritism happening at certain locations Communication was far from great Should offer more PTO

Pros

Public service and all of the amazing work DPL does for the communities we serve. Creating opportunities for access.

Cons

Upper management is totally disconnected from the rest of front line staff. When provided with feedback, they take it personally as a blow to their egos and not as feedback to the systems that could be improved. Morale is very low and while people are committed to DPL's values, most people do not see upper management upholding those values. There is also very little accountability put in place for upper administration. Internal communications could be improved. Better training for supervisors is desperately needed. And as many people have noted, very little to no job mobility. Professional development is a joke and barely exists. Come here is your want your career to stay stagnant.
