Vantaggi

PGE's clean power and diversity aspirations are very inspiring. A lot of extremely smart and capable people are buried within the ranks in this organization. Might be fine for someone new to their career that needs expereince. If you are a nice, reasonably smart and somewhat competent white man who is good at flattering your boss you should apply immediately. This is one place in America where you can still find an openly unlevel playing field that works to your advantage and that no one seems seriously interested in changing.

Svantaggi

Upper level management is completely disengaged in the grassroots. As such, many who quickly rise through the ranks are primarily people who surround themselves with yes-men and are good at perception management whether or not their competencies back that up. Very many of them are smart, likable white men who are incompetent leaders. The company boasts about its 20% of women on the board of directors and that women make $1.03 to each $1 that men make but this is primarily because women and people of color at PGE are underemployed. Other than the CEO there are very few women and people of color in management tracks and director roles except in more traditionally female and administrative leadership areas like HR/Admin/Legal. Those diverse leaders and managers who are there tend to be more qualified than their typically affable white male bosses and are promoted and advanced less quickly. If you have leadership skills and expereince to back it up, go elsewhere. You have options. You will advance more quickly and your talents will be more appreciated than at PGE.

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.
