Pros

Good pay Make your own schedule Flexible hours Good bonus and annual raise If you have a penn state engineering degree you’re golden Great volunteer work

Cons

Will not advance without kissing butt. Many clueless managers. If a manager does poor in their position they are just moved to a different group instead of let go. Very political work environment Individuals move positions all the time. Managers do not stay in their position for more than a year at times. Your work will always be scrutinized by someone. Overtime is straight time Job performance does not get you anywhere at this company.

Pros

Engineering team is young and open for innovative ideas. Everyone supports and respects each other and willing to help and learn from each other. As a contractor - it is a very smooth and stress-free work experience.

Cons

Might be little bureaucratical when it comes to paperwork & processes but this is a large utility so this is expected or even required. People tend to rotate a lot and it makes it difficult to find support & training but everyone understand it and there is no pressure on workload most of the time allowing you to finish the job without a lot of pressure.
