Pros

Georgia Power is a stable company with lots of cash flowing into it, because it is basically a monopoly with guaranteed profit. The culture is very predictable. There are no surprises. This company is very slow to change, which can be very comforting to people that want to stay with a company for a long time, doing the same thing for years until they retire.

Cons

Fitting the mold (straight, evangelical, rural, conservative) or pretending to if you can stomach it, makes it much more likely that you will have a satisfying career. Cronyism and nepotism are rampant and counter-productive to the future of this company. Average performance is rewarded, especially if you don't threaten the status quo. Some executives are decent and hard-working, but this company generally doesn't promote employees that can kick butt, lest someone upsets the apple cart. Group think is out of control at this place.

Pros

Due to my experience, I don't have many positive things to say.

Cons

Management was not good in this headquarters. I was not very fond of the treatment that the supervisors had towards their contracted employees. I graduated with a high GPA from university and know how to learn. In my first role as a distribution engineer, there wasn't any concrete training available to learn how to start and finish a project from start to finish. I would often reach out to get clarification on many concepts I was unfamiliar with and the feedback I received seemed to be too "exhaustive" for my supervisor to explain. Not only that, but when I sent my jobs for review with the small amount of guidance given, they would belittle my designs due to my lack of knowledge that they chose not to reinforce. In my contracted position, the supervisor over me at Georgia Power held the decision for extending contracts for the contractors. I asked twice if my contract was to be extended in order for me to make adequate plans moving forward should my contract not be extended. Both times that I asked for confirmation, I was told that my contract was going to be extended. However, it wasn't until 5 days that my contract would expire that the supervisor told me that they decided to not extend my contract. It was a humiliating and frustrating experience. I expected more from this company and the people they have placed in positions of power.
