Excellent place to work
Senior Customer Service Representative (Current Employee), Manhattan, NY – May 7, 2013
Pros: great benefits
Cons: not my career path
Excellent family place to work. It has great benefits and great pay. Only reason why I would leave them is because it's not what I want to do for the rest of my life.

A learning and productive job
Flagger (Former Employee), Yonkers, NY – April 26, 2013
Pros: flexable hours and great pay
Cons: parttime and no benefits
Enjoyed learning and working as a flagger, being shown how to stop or slow down the vehicles when needed. My co-workers was very nice and patient they showed me what I needed to know and how to go about it. I am a quick learner so it was a good experience. It was a very good part time job for me.

Busy and intense workload on a daily basis
Customer Service Representative (Former Employee), Brooklyn, Ny – February 27, 2013
Pros: great pay, room to grow
Cons: cut throat, favoritism among management
Con Edison was a great company to work for. Being the main electric and gas provider to the 5 boroughs made the job feel very important. There were at the very least 100 calls to be taken per day. They ranged from bill payments to regular account troubleshooting. The hardest part of the job was telling a customer who was going through a rough time that – more... I was no able to grant an extension or any other assistance due to the amount of delinquencies on the account. On the flip side one of the most enjoyable parts were when i was able to help a needy customer keep their lights or gas services on by granting any of the many helpful ways to keep service running. – less

My experiences at Con Edison
PROJECT MANAGER/MAINTENANCE SUPERVISOR (Former Employee), New York, NY – January 23, 2013
Pros: great pay, free traning, giid benefits
Cons: 25 years to be eligible for 5 weeks of vacation, can't carry over your vacation from one year to the next
A typical day at work for me was a 6:30am and 1:30 pm meeting to briefing upper management on the progress of my assignment. I also consult with other departments on where their are in their progress. I Set up bid walks, write requisitions and process them in a data base. I also reviewed and approved invoices for payment.

Things I learned: To always – more... seek and accept responsibility, I learned team work, I learned that open communication is very important among co workers, to always have a plan and work that plan well. to improve continuously and to always celebrate success.

I was part of management.The moral among management was low.

The most challenging part of the job not having enough time in the day to get it all done.

The most enjoyable part of the job is, completing a project and everyone especially the boss is happy. – less

The place where people never quit!
Contract Employee, Sr. Customer Service Rep (Former Employee), Rye, NY – January 7, 2013
Pros: generous benefits, great cameradie.
Cons: stressful in keeping up with the demands of the public at large.
Coned employees commence their workday before most companies do, extending overtime as becomes necessary when emergencies (power outages/storms/trees downed/floods, etc.) arise. Customer service is perhaps the most highly regarded aspect of everyone's job performance. It is ultimately that dedication that contributes to negative opinions from the general – more... public, e.g. observing sleeping employees in trucks- not realizing how many hours were spent in restoration of public services. – less

A very interesting but stressful job
Customer Service Representative (Former Employee), Brooklyn NY – April 11, 2012
This a call center environment. You are stuck at a desk all day but the job is pretty simple. It can get stressful at times and in the event of an emergency you have to work long hours. Always a chance for overtime. The pay and benefits are great!!!
