Great company with plenty of advancement opportunities - Avis employé Engineer ComEd

I had an enjoyable experience working at ComEd in the TCE department for the summer. If you want to go into the energy industry it is a great company to be at.

The speed of innovation is not very fast since you are restricted by needing the stability of electric utilities. ComEd is probably one of the most technologically advanced utility across the US.

Great work-life balance and work-from-home option on Mondays and Fridays. Great place to learn about the industry, as ComEd/Exelon is a leader in its field. Generally a very positive work culture, with a few toxic people here and there - no different from any company. They also encourage you to move around to different roles if you so choose, which is really supportive and unique among companies.

Pay is FAR below the industry standard. Lots of PMs are jumping ship for $30K - $50K more pay doing the same job in other companies - including ComEd's consulting firms. And now, it appears that the annual bonus is going to be partially cut by the new "high performance workforce" initiative - thereby eliminating the final incentive to stay. Unfortunately, I have now joined the ranks of those looking for greener pastures myself. I'd love to stay, but I can't ignore the ability to make $40K more elsewhere.
