Pros

I liked my co workers and some of the staff, the pay was decent, and benefit were ok. I enjoyed playing sports with some of my co workers.

Cons

About 80% of the people who were there when I started have left. People would come in and quit within 6 months. Management is extremely poor, especially within the directors. They hold meetings upon meetings about Diversity, Speaking Up, Ethics, but do not live those cultures. They are extremely nepotistic, and if they don't like you (even if you are a top performer), you might as well find another job, because they will find a way to push you out the door. It isn't about the work you do there, it is about who you kiss up to, and if you like to be their little spy. Most of the employees who have been there along time spend all their time watching and inaccurately reporting what everyone else it doing, and not doing any work. Management seems to like this. A lot of pointing fingers, gossiping, and overall unprofessional behavior. They are always going on about "Speaking Up" But the few people I know who did were pretty much fired for some ridiculous reason. The only way to get ahead and have security here is to keep your mouth shut, unless it is to gossip about or tattle on another employee. They are hiring like crazy because they can't keep professional people in positions. Forget about any kind of flexibility, there is none. If there is 2 feet of snow on the ground, most employees are forced to drive in and risk their safety, or use a vacation day (and these aren't even electricians, we are talking about accountants, etc.). Some are allowed to work from home, but that is based upon who you know, not how well you do your job. Almost no room for advancement, unless of course, you are one of the directors pets. They will deny you a position, but then turn around and ask you do the work for that position until it is filled. Employees, especially contractors, are treated very poorly and with disrespect. I am so happy the economy improved and companies started hiring, because I could not get out of there fast enough. Good luck to future employees, especially in DP & C, you will need it!

Pros

Decent pay and benefits for a New Jersey based company. Work can be interesting.

Cons

Management is relentless in its desire to drive shareholder value by increasing the company's stock price at the expense of its employees. Benefits have been scaled back, bonuses have been subpar and many departments throughout the company are understaffed, resulting in employees being overworked . Employee morale is low, especially in the legal department. My advise to lawyers thinking about joining PSEG - look elsewhere, there are far better in-house opportunities available. Due to PSEG Power's perpetual underperformance, this company has become stagnant and there is little room for advancement. Promotions are rare, especially in the legal department.

Pros

The benefit are ok, but comparable to other companies, so nothing special.

Cons

First off, some people are allowed flexible schedules and ability to work from home while others are not. Some are allowed summer hours, while others are not. A few of the directors are good honest people, but the rest are not. Management seems to be driving people out the door, by allowing gossip, bullying, rudeness, and general micro managing. They tout diversity, speaking up, and integrity, but do not practice what they preach. People who speak up or voice unfairness are often targeted and end up either being terminated or have their lives made so unbearable they voluntarily leave. The people who only seem to advance and get fair and decent treatment or those either friends with or related to the directors/management. I used to think the CEO was an honorable man, but cannot continue to, since he allows these types of people to stay in management.
