Pros

The utility industry as a whole is a very stable work environment, BGE will be celebrating 200 years in 2016. As for the work culture here, I can say there are pockets of exceptional leaders (most of whom are retiring) and pockets of those individuals that should not be leaders and are extremely toxic. Our HR department is well aware of these individuals and for whatever reason do nothing to correct the issues. It is sad really, as I have watched very seasoned and talented individuals leave this company due to these toxic individuals. My advice to anyone looking at this company for employment is to do your research and ask someone within the organization where to work and who to work for....avoid the drama and possibility of having to look for another job (internally or externally).

Cons

As for diversity and inclusion...it is merely a façade that Exelon "owns" and mandates down to the business entities (nice try but this is not working). I am a seasoned female engineer and can say with great disappointment, that we are not even close to operating in the 21st Century (there are only 16 female engineers @ BGE at the Individual Contributor Level- this is 0.4% of the BGE employee base....wow, really?). As mentioned above, there are pockets of toxic leaders in this company that do not recognize work-life balance nor the needs of single/widowed parents...if these leaders could realize that having young children is such a blessing and truly a short period in ones life, they could retain and grow very valuable company assets. I have heard of disheartening stories within this company that young mothers have been forced to leave the company because their leaders did not allow flexible working hours for childcare and/or health issues....truly disappointing and understanding why FMLA exists. Other issues exist with the "less seasoned" generation's attitude of "entitlement" and beliefs that they should be senior employees/leaders after only <5 years of service/work experience...BGE is bypassing and losing valuable employees/leaders because they pacify this generation's mentality and promote these people to incompetence.

Pros

Compared to other companies… Exec leadership is good at change management communications. They make it obvious what they’re planning to do next as external pressures increase. Everyone has access to copilot There are a ton of benefits (but they’re confusing and disorganized). Parking rebate, education reimbursement program,

Cons

The worst tech organization I’ve ever worked with. Technology is extremely outdated and the people aren’t helpful. They’ll close your ticket without ever contacting you and you’re left spending hours going in circles. This makes their onboarding VERY difficult for new employees who can’t find anything. Customer service roles are very very unhelpful. For example- credit card group sent the job aid in response to a question, I shared with them the exact areas where the job aid links were broken and incomplete and got no response. Compensation was lower than the market by a significant margin.

Thank you for your positive comments regarding communication, AI access, and benefits. We recognize that reliable technology and responsive tech support are both critical to a positive employee experience —especially during onboarding. It’s concerning to hear that you encountered difficulty getting assistance and unresolved tickets. That’s not the experience we aim to provide, and your feedback highlights areas where we clearly need to improve.
