Pros

Good benefits, a few decent people, nice facilities.

Cons

Advancement is based mostly on who you know with little regard for job knowledge or ability. This has actually created a systemic effect where most of the management doesn't know how to run a company because all they're good at is networking and interviewing. Whenever the problems stemming from this come to a head, their solution is to "reorg" which basically means change titles for some of the management, shuffle people around a little, and get rid of the vocal free thinkers. I worked in a area that had done several cost analysis studies and determined each time that our area was actually profitable for the company. Their solution: fire half of us, double the work on the "lucky" half that kept our jobs. It got to a point where we had to QA our own work rather than have a dedicated person do it. But you know, that PPP was great the following year and the year after.

Pros

Due to my experience, I don't have many positive things to say.

Cons

Management was not good in this headquarters. I was not very fond of the treatment that the supervisors had towards their contracted employees. I graduated with a high GPA from university and know how to learn. In my first role as a distribution engineer, there wasn't any concrete training available to learn how to start and finish a project from start to finish. I would often reach out to get clarification on many concepts I was unfamiliar with and the feedback I received seemed to be too "exhaustive" for my supervisor to explain. Not only that, but when I sent my jobs for review with the small amount of guidance given, they would belittle my designs due to my lack of knowledge that they chose not to reinforce. In my contracted position, the supervisor over me at Georgia Power held the decision for extending contracts for the contractors. I asked twice if my contract was to be extended in order for me to make adequate plans moving forward should my contract not be extended. Both times that I asked for confirmation, I was told that my contract was going to be extended. However, it wasn't until 5 days that my contract would expire that the supervisor told me that they decided to not extend my contract. It was a humiliating and frustrating experience. I expected more from this company and the people they have placed in positions of power.
