Pros

Decent pay, pension, benefits, good coworkers, etc

Cons

The company has gone downhill in the last 5 years. To be honest, the HB6 management crew (political bribery) cared more for the employees than any of these new executives. Shady, noncommunicative, cruel, even. It will never be a "premier utility" and employee engagement/satisfaction and reputation will take YEARS if not DECADES to recover.

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.

Not much anymore - was once a solid company

Terribly managed since Tierney and his cronies took the helm
