No longer a good place for IT workers - Information Technology Specialist American Electric Power Employee Review

Pros

Benefits are still good and have not been cut into too much.

Cons

New CITO is wrecking the technology organization. There is little accountability in her leadership chain, she is overly cut throat and has a history of cutting jobs with no justification. Outside of the poor CITO, promotion opportunities are now non existent. If you want a promotion you can't get it via normal career progression. Management will tell you that your options are limited and you should look outside of AEP. Being overworked is common. You will be expected to fill the shoes of higher pay grades under the false pretence that it will help you get a promotion.

Pros

Immediate team culture good, pay and benefits decent

Cons

Becoming toxic, lack of communication and understanding. Ex: flattening middle management while adding more executive leadership but not eliminating the tasks needed of middle management so individuals doing multiple roles and tasks above or without pay grade with little to no notice or training.
