Pros

Good for people who don't want to excel/ those who want to show up at 7:30 and leave by 4:00 on the dot. Decent compensation.

Cons

Total disregard for employees wanting to expand/ explore other career opportunities. Incompentent management at all level. Does not listen to employees. Yearly reviews are totally subjective. Not willing to try new methods, even if they could result in huge savings for the company. FE is a typical public utility. Employees do not and are not encouraged to put in any additional work(parking lot is dead within 5 minutes of closing). Very slow and extremely resistant to change.

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.
