Pros

Good pay, opportunities to learn a lot

Cons

They run their employees into the ground, there is no work life balance, the management seemed incompetent at best and devoid of empathy or any feelings at worst, management care more about making money than safety or the environment, corporate doesn't care about FE Generation at all, the only way people seem to advance in their career is if they spend their time on their knees, the company is a dog and pony show with nothing else of substance behind it.

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.
