Pros

Constellation seems like a great company to work for, the Byron location was a great plant, and there were tons of highly-motivated and intelligent people there. Operations management keep a focus on nuclear and operational safety.

Cons

The Byron station hemorrhaged senior talent when it was scheduled to cease operations and it shows in who is their management. People were promoted to positions that they are either too immature for or would never have otherwise have been placed in such positions had the company and site had any other choice. 10 hour days were demanded of the staff and lower members of management even when not necessary in order to appear useful and/or busy; this had a hugely demoralizing effect on the staff. A lot of the E-4's and above want to be the smartest person in the room but lack the humility to recognize they're not experts in everything. There was definitely a "good old boys" club there. HR, in my opinion, is useless when investigating anything that might impact the company or site negatively. They are only there to protect management and the company.

Pros

Coworkers are all intelligent and overall good people to spend 12hrs a day with.

Cons

The department is perpetually understaffed. You’ll never actually work an 8hr shift, because no one is dumb enough to vote for that schedule. There’s not enough operators to fill the schedule without being forced all the time for 16hr shifts. Be prepared to be forced for OT on a regular basis even with a 12hr schedule. If your family is important, then this probably is not a good long-term plan. You’re going to miss sports, holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, etc. You live at work and home is a place you sleep. The company might advertise company holidays, but that just means you get paid a little more for being here on those days.
