Pros

People generally are nice and some are pretty talented.

Cons

If you don't know the right people it doesn't matter about the quality of your work or your skills, you probably won't get promoted, at least for a very long time.

Pros

FirstEnergy is a big company with a lot of growth that I've seen firsthand. Employees are helpful and all have the shared goals of keeping reliability of the electric grid. The pay is decent and stays competitive with the market rates as they do reviews consistently and evaluate. Its a great company that is trying to do better after misguided leads hip in the past

Cons

Some executive leadership vision is not shared with lower level employees. The recent transition from WFH back to the office has left employees such as myself wondering why its not role based WFH.

Terribly managed since Tierney and his cronies took the helm
