Does not treat employees well at all!

Pros

Work-life balance is good and the pay is good.

Cons

Supervision is poor and there is absolutely no training given. People in the department don't want to share what they know and I was told if I wanted training I'm in the wrong place.

Pros

Collaborative work environment, many opportunities for career growth and learning, supportive management, family-like culture makes you feel like you're part of the team, can-do / get it done attitude by staff is energizing

Cons

Most of the best parts of Progress were lost during the Duke Energy merger, and many good employees were replaced with inexperienced staff. I've never seen culture erode so fast as it did at the combined Progress Energy / Duke Energy
