Pros

CEO really cares about employees and customers. Professional work place with no concern for the nonsense that many smaller companies sometimes experience. focused on diversity

Cons

its a public utility; so that has its drawbacks. not a growing company, lots of older boomers retiring soon, so some upward mobility. focused on diversity to a point where it may not be the best place for a white male

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.
