Pros

Working in Customer Service at PGE has been such a great experience for me. If you like helping people, thinking on your feet, and staying open to different perspectives, you’d probably love it here. The culture is super supportive, and we’re big on growth, accountability, and actually valuing what makes each person different. If you’re someone who likes to learn and is looking for a career, there are tons of ways to grow here. We focus on career development from day one. And people really do notice your hard work. It feels good to know your contributions matter. Day to day, we get to talk with our neighbors and local businesses creating genuine connections. Plus, volunteering and being involved in the community is a huge part of our culture. I know it sounds cheesy, but I seriously didn’t expect this place to be as awesome as it is until I got here.

Cons

No workplace is perfect, including PGE. But something I’ve noticed during my time here is how fast we adjust when something isn’t working or misses the mark. Things don’t just get swept under the rug. Not dodging the question, it's just that I can't identify a con because our leadership is attentive to continuous improvement, not just for employees but for our organization too.

Pros

Great place to build a career. There are strong opportunities for internal movement and development, and leadership genuinely seems to care about employees and the culture. The benefits are excellent, particularly the retirement and 401(k) programs. Like any publicly traded company, there is a focus on performance, accountability, and delivering results, so if you’ve worked in an environment that reports earnings and manages to shareholder expectations, you’ll find the pace and expectations familiar. Overall, a purpose-driven organization with meaningful work and good people.

Cons

- company in transition -communication noise

Pros

The benefits at PGE are wonderful. 401k Match, a healthy amount of PTO, health support, and the pay is top notch.

Cons

There is a toxic culture being spread in Human Resources right now. There is a lack of fairness and trust being displayed by senior leadership. Most don't feel trusted to do their jobs as they constantly feel watched and monitored. There is a view of favoritism happening and it's noticed by many, observing the lack of flexibility around work life balance, hours and child/elder care responsibilities. There are many out on a leave of absence due to these stressors affecting people who were once healthy excited workers. You can see on their faces how people's health is taking a toll. SLT talks about how your mental and physical health is important, but it feels more like a liability. And in the end, there are overall feelings of if you leave, it's totally okay because they'll just replace you with someone they know. And they don't seem to care.
