Portland General Electric Response

We appreciate your feedback, thank you for taking the time to write a review. Pay equity is important to us and we’re proud that PGE employees in the same role, with comparable work experience at the same work location, continue to earn a near-perfect dollar for dollar pay. Embracing diversity, equity & inclusion is one of PGE’s core values that guide our energy transformation work for Oregon. These values, combined with PGE’s Guiding Behaviors, help shape the way we do business and represent who we are as a company. We’ve outlined some of our DEI measures here: https://portlandgeneral.com/about/who-we-are/diversity-equity-and-inclusion. These are serious allegations, and we would like to investigate further. Whether you still work for PGE or have moved on, reporting these experiences is important to us to conduct an inquiry with the right information. To continue to remain anonymous we have an online forum at https://secure.ethicspoint.com/domain/media/en/gui/7710/index.htmlat or the option to call 866-384-4277. This website and hotline are managed by a third-party vendor. Thank you, Sequoia

Pros

Great place to build a career. There are strong opportunities for internal movement and development, and leadership genuinely seems to care about employees and the culture. The benefits are excellent, particularly the retirement and 401(k) programs. Like any publicly traded company, there is a focus on performance, accountability, and delivering results, so if you’ve worked in an environment that reports earnings and manages to shareholder expectations, you’ll find the pace and expectations familiar. Overall, a purpose-driven organization with meaningful work and good people.

Cons

Pros

The benefits at PGE are wonderful. 401k Match, a healthy amount of PTO, health support, and the pay is top notch.

Cons

There is a toxic culture being spread in Human Resources right now. There is a lack of fairness and trust being displayed by senior leadership. Most don't feel trusted to do their jobs as they constantly feel watched and monitored. There is a view of favoritism happening and it's noticed by many, observing the lack of flexibility around work life balance, hours and child/elder care responsibilities. There are many out on a leave of absence due to these stressors affecting people who were once healthy excited workers. You can see on their faces how people's health is taking a toll. SLT talks about how your mental and physical health is important, but it feels more like a liability. And in the end, there are overall feelings of if you leave, it's totally okay because they'll just replace you with someone they know. And they don't seem to care.
