Pros

The compensation package is very good. There is plentiful overtime pay and there is also an annual bonus. Made several good friends over the years. There is also opportunity for individual growth.

Cons

Odd work hours and abundance of overtime makes it very challenging to have any sort of work-life balance. The nuclear industry is very meticulous in regards to procedures and standards. People from other, less detail oriented backgrounds may have a difficult time adjusting. New employees need to understand that they are nuclear professionals and be able to accept the additional time it takes to "do the job" because of the use of human performance tools.

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.

Great office work-group, both staffers and managers

Cons

As covid came upon us, sharing the time in-office was necessary but challenging however the team effort worked well so we could all get our required work done
