Pros

Can make a lot of money working overtime

Cons

People working at the plants are nice, but managers are not kind, and are very dogmatic. They threaten employees that don't "get in line", and is very much the good ol' boy network. Not very diverse work, and the majority of the technology is very old and out dated. Managers are very cheap, and sometimes do not want to pay overtime. Could care less if you have a life outside of work, they would rather you ruin your life, get divorced, and stay at their unhealthy plants. Managers think its the best place on earth to work , and don't understand why morale is low.

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.

Terribly managed since Tierney and his cronies took the helm
