Pros

Money, benefits, location, area, close to downtown

Cons

IT dept is being torn apart right now. It used to be the best dept to work in. It's not anymore. It's not a Safe to Say environment anymore. There are snitches in the department. They are not promoting from within. They are bringing outside folks instead. They are trying to get rid of the older and bring in newer. They are top heavy which they never were before. Many employees are leaving and going elsewhere. More are looking to get out as well. It is scary.

First and foremost, we encourage you to discuss these concerns with your leader or HR client consultant. Next, external expertise and resources are critical to help us deliver solutions to our customers in a scalable way. But this external support does not take away from career growth and development opportunities for our current workforce and we hope you can take advantage of all that Ameren offers you. Finally, please make room on your schedule to attend our face-to-face, department-wide meetings which are also a great source of information regarding our future direction.

Pros

Great place to work! I enjoy collaborating with other coworkers on gas projects. Also, a great work-life balance!

Cons

Can't complain too much about working at Ameren in my experience. I guess I'm just lucky with my leadership and work group!

Pros

There aren't many. Pay used to be in the top tier. Not any more.

Cons

Do not come work here. They treat us like children. No trust in their employees. Shady practices around spend targets that affect the end customer. Theres a "in" club and if you aren't in it, good luck. Enjoy 3% or less raises for eternity. Management lies worse than any company I've worked for. The culture is destroyed. We all know tax kick backs are happening.
