A solid summer employment opportunity.
Meter Painter (Former Employee), Danville, IL – July 25, 2012
Pros: good work environment.
Cons: not a permanent employment opportunity.
I worked at Ameren for a summer before heading back to college.I received the job through the Manpower Employment Company.Due to the fact that it was just a summer job,there was no compensation/benefits package nor was there an opportunity for advancement.So the lack of ratings in those two categories in no way reflect negatively toward the company.Everything – more... about the job was first class.The employees were always helpful and courteous,and really made working there easy and managable due to the inviting work environment. – less

Fun place to work with the all the food you can eat
Janitor Supervisor (Former Employee), Peoria, IL – July 11, 2012
Pros: vending machines
Cons: no benefits
A typical day at work is exhausting. I had to manage a team of janitors and make sure that they were doing their jobs and able to maintain with no supervision and just a team lead with the all of them. I had to travel from one building to the next in my own vehicle. I liked all the workers we had they were great to work with all of them. I had good – more... times working as a Supervisor being able to just experience the great benefits of meeting new people and having an overall good staff that liked you back and cared enough to even come to me with problems that they were having with someone or something. The only thing that I didnt like is having to show somebody tough love for slacking off and when they slack off it didnt look good on me cause my boss would come down on me. – less

Upper management has eletist attitude
Journeyman lineman (Current Employee), Illinois – June 1, 2012
Pros: none for new hires
Cons: benefits are being slashed, everything is about $$$
VERY anti union. If you are a trade worker, stay away from ameren. They are trying to take away working conditions and benefits that have been in place for years because they say they are "going broke", yet they reward their upper management with pay raises and bonuses. They want to raid the pension fund, so they are trying to go to a "cash balance", – more... which will be about .30 on the dollar of the traditional defined benefit pension we've had for years. They preach about teamwork and safety all the time, but won't hesitate to throw both to the curb in the name of profits. – less

Non-employee Focus
Generation Salaried Employee (Former Employee), St. Louis, MO – May 1, 2012
The company is focused on their profit goals. Raises have been suspended for non-union salaried employees several, but compensation was adjusted upward for senior management who "were not making comparable salaries". Projet budgets were usually overrun.
