Pros

CES can be a great place to work and build expertise on the inner workings of the energy industry and competitive electricity markets. For a company of its size, it enjoys an outstanding reputation among some of the largest energy players in the U.S. and the world thanks to its knowledgeable employees and the client-first mentality spearheaded by the founder. Pay and benefits tend to be good for the Philadelphia region, and employees are often given some flexibility in their day-to-day lives as long as their work gets done, though this varies considerably by position. Generally, business lines leads/managers are easy to work with and encouraging to employees across the company.

Cons

Management as a whole can be disorganized and the company could benefit from better coordination both within and between teams. The strategic direction of the company or individual business lines is not always clear, leaving workers unsure of where to focus their efforts. The current annual review process seems to under-weigh individual contributions, so there is not necessarily a strong incentive in terms of bonus or advancement to reward employee performance.

Thank you for your review. We strive to be a company that develops the skills of associates and serves our clients' needs. Having a flat organizational structure does sometimes lead to lack of clear pathways for career growth. We have sought to develop more streamlined ways to foster skill development and mentoring within and between teams. We should be rolling out more in the next couple of months - as this rolls out please let me know how you think we are doing. Thank you again for your contribution to making us a better company! - Stephen
