Vantaggi

- Plenty of smart, thoughtful coworkers who genuinely care about their work and want to do the right thing. - Interesting industry challenges if you're passionate about clean energy and delivering an essential service.

Svantaggi

- Strategy feels reactive, not deliberate. Things move fast, but rarely in a coherent direction. - There’s a heavy focus on “innovation,” but the fundamentals of running a reliable utility often get deprioritized. - Decision-making culture is highly political. Teams are often pitted against one another, and major decisions can feel driven more by internal positioning than by what’s best for the business. - Executive culture is extremely disconnected from employees. Many staff, including people in management, have literally never met their executives. For a small regional utility, that’s extremely unusual.

Vantaggi

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

Svantaggi

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.
