Pros

Generally good people to work with If you stay long enough you will get promoted Company offers 401k matching program and good benefits

Cons

Long hours overtime during outage season without compensation (70+ hours/week for several months at a time). Lower than average salaries for professionals (engineers) compared to similar positions in the Atlanta, GA area High-turnover rate Management hires people based on "likeability" (and who they know) and not competence/experience, which means you'll likely be working with or for people who have no idea how to do their job Too much of the "good ol' boy" system going on still (in 2015 nonetheless) and I personally came across several sexist people, some of which were in management Some days I would have 6-7 meetings in a day, which kills productivity. Company is behind the times in terms of technology, work pace, diversity, etc.

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.
