Pros

Great company to work with. Benefits are really good and the atmosphere is excellent in terms of sharing information if you like OJT (on the job training). Many opportunities to learn from more seasoned employees. Workload is very light, some weeks it will be hectic but most of time you can get the work done easily. Many groups and companies so if you want to swap jobs it's easy because you are in the same company

Cons

Very hard for technical leaders to get paid evenly with management leaders. Unfortunately, if you are in it for management you will have a lot of opportunities, but if you are in it to be technical guru then you can be there 50 years (be a technical guru) and get paid less than a supervisor/manager who has been there for 6-15. Too many people with big jobs and no real knowledge (job hoppers) yet they are "essential"

Pros

Due to my experience, I don't have many positive things to say.

Cons

Management was not good in this headquarters. I was not very fond of the treatment that the supervisors had towards their contracted employees. I graduated with a high GPA from university and know how to learn. In my first role as a distribution engineer, there wasn't any concrete training available to learn how to start and finish a project from start to finish. I would often reach out to get clarification on many concepts I was unfamiliar with and the feedback I received seemed to be too "exhaustive" for my supervisor to explain. Not only that, but when I sent my jobs for review with the small amount of guidance given, they would belittle my designs due to my lack of knowledge that they chose not to reinforce. In my contracted position, the supervisor over me at Georgia Power held the decision for extending contracts for the contractors. I asked twice if my contract was to be extended in order for me to make adequate plans moving forward should my contract not be extended. Both times that I asked for confirmation, I was told that my contract was going to be extended. However, it wasn't until 5 days that my contract would expire that the supervisor told me that they decided to not extend my contract. It was a humiliating and frustrating experience. I expected more from this company and the people they have placed in positions of power.
