Duke Energy Corporation Employer Reviews

Duke Energy was a great place to work. Co-workers were friendly and made the work day more enjoyable. Management was very supportive and worked hard to make sure you were given opportunities to learn about different areas in their IM division.

Worked at the Catawba site. Duke takes great effort to over analyze everything it does. We had a saying there, As soon as you walked in you may as well write your self up for a violation. It was always 2 steps forward and 1 step back.

Make a mistake and you will be talking to every manager including the plant manager, no matter how small. They come – more... up with a sign off for everything, no matter how small and even the way to sign off on the sign off is proceduralized. Its so bad, many times you loose site of what you are doing for all the extraneous requirements they've come up with. – less

Duke Energy has a great laid back culture. They are a utility company so they are obviously not bleeding edge when it comes to technology. The workforce is aging so that leaves little opportunity for younger employees to get to senior and manager positions.

A typical day at work involves monitoring Remedy Picasso consoles, picking up, analyzing and solving user submitted problems and changes. I learned a great deal in my time there, as it is a very high tempo, very high visiblity position within the company. Management was NOT one of the strong points at Duke Energy, and you are treated with almost no – more... respect, and are more like a number in a system than a person. The hardest part of the job was dealing with managements mostly unreasonalbe expectations, and users who do not realize how difficult their requests may be. The most enjoyable part is seeing how your hard work pays off and benefits the end user – less

Excellent company to work for - benefits and pay good, expectations high, value and culture tops.

Duke Energy has changed some for good some not. There is a push to be the biggest and to be on the cutting edge in the utilities industry,

Had the opportunity to work with more than a dozen Engineers and learn Engineering, as well as, Computer Technology, Network Operations, and Security Administration.

Enjoyed a variety of duties.

Opportunities exist in order to participate in multiple projects.

Management was available and supportive, when needed.

The position was stressful at month-end, quarter-end, etc. but was also very rewarding.

Good people. Management is out of touch with daily operations and fails to provide needed information to workers. Management by spreadsheet is the norm. Contractors support production goals which enhance the bonuses for regular employees but contractors are not included in these bonuses. No recognition is provided for good performance by contractors.

Large corporation in the power generation field. Long history of success with proven leadership and values.
