Pros

Flexible schedule and a paycheck every two weeks

Cons

I’m convinced all the good reviews on GlassDoor for Exelon are writing by Exelon HR. Here is the truth: Pay inequality for women is common. Sexism is common. Unbelievable red tape to accomplish anything (IT, renewing contracts, etc). Management leaves with no replacement in sight and they leave the peons to do all their work for no compensation. Very high turnaround because everyone who comes in realizes this company is a mess and they get out while they can. No advancement unless it’s through brown nosing and nepotism. Company consistently disregards the talent and expertise of its low level employees and promotes inexperienced twits. Management across departments is known to promise full time positions to contractors and it never pans out.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We value your input and would like to understand more so that we can make sure that Exelon is a great workplace for all of our employees. Please contact the 24 Hour Ethics hotline or your own HR representative to provide us with the opportunity to understand your concerns and make improvements wherever possible. In December 2016, we took the national Equal Pay Pledge to publicly declare a commitment to equal pay. We were pleased that the results of an independent third-party analysis of Exelon's pay practices showed no systemic pay differences between men and women in comparable jobs with similar levels of experience. That said, we will continue to identify and promote other opportunities – such as expanding our paid family leave policy and joining the United Nations Women's HeForShe campaign – to assist in closing the national gender wage gap and helping to ensure equitable treatment of all employees. Enhancing employee development is another critical focus area for our HR and Leadership teams. The recent transformation of our performance management process equips employees with more modern and simplified tools, processes, and technologies that are specifically designed to foster professional development and build an inclusive culture through real-time dialogue. We hope to have the opportunity to speak with you further.

Pros

Compared to other companies… Exec leadership is good at change management communications. They make it obvious what they’re planning to do next as external pressures increase. Everyone has access to copilot There are a ton of benefits (but they’re confusing and disorganized). Parking rebate, education reimbursement program,

Cons

The worst tech organization I’ve ever worked with. Technology is extremely outdated and the people aren’t helpful. They’ll close your ticket without ever contacting you and you’re left spending hours going in circles. This makes their onboarding VERY difficult for new employees who can’t find anything. Customer service roles are very very unhelpful. For example- credit card group sent the job aid in response to a question, I shared with them the exact areas where the job aid links were broken and incomplete and got no response. Compensation was lower than the market by a significant margin.

Thank you for your positive comments regarding communication, AI access, and benefits. We recognize that reliable technology and responsive tech support are both critical to a positive employee experience —especially during onboarding. It’s concerning to hear that you encountered difficulty getting assistance and unresolved tickets. That’s not the experience we aim to provide, and your feedback highlights areas where we clearly need to improve.
