Duke Energy Employer Reviews

Duke Energy gave me the opportunitity ot jumpstart my professional career as an intern. They trust workers with a large amount of responsibility and accountability. Sometimes the environment is high-stress and fast-paced, but employees are always helpful and open to questions.

Its a great company to work for. I like the position that i currently hold but it has limited hours.

Nice friendly environment. Great job security and work is constant and job assignments change often.

Operate Control Board and make routine rounds in plant in rotating shifts.

No commitment to long term contractors, feel like an outsider even after being there 5 years

A typical work day of late has been in the construction phase. Write a procedure to clear a bank panel, which will contain HT, Transformer, LT relays. Remove elector-mechanical relays, install new SEL-351 for the HT; SEL-387 for the transformer, SEL-351 for the LT. Load settings into the relays, test the relays with RTS, and save data, move on to logic – more... check out with a simulator. While performing that task, coordinate with control support too remove old control wiring and install new. While equipment is cleared relay technicians is responsible for testing the CT's before placing them back in service. That is the water down version of our job. This does not include a day of PM's for carrier terminal, etc. As a whole, Duke Energy has the potential to be awesome. With any big company there is a lot of moving parts, and staying focus on the task can be daunting. If one department is not able to complete their task. That will impact the next step of the process. The biggest enjoyment comes from doing actual functioning test on a scheme that we just installed. And working correctly! LOL!!! – less

Well because it's 36 floors in the air above the Carolina Panther's stadium a typical day isn't very that much typical. Working on the communications floor is amazing seeing the daily operations. Management is amazing and make you feel like a valuable member of the team. Most workers there have been there for 20 30 years and come to work excited and – more... ready to work. – less

Great company to work for all around. they care about there employees.

The job was fairly easy once i got the hang of all the procedures and things to do when going out to a job site. the co-workers were friendly and would help you in anyway possible when doing jobs or needing help making decisions on how a job should be worked.

Great benefits. Had to be able to cope with all kinds of weather conditions, people and animals. Some great coworkers and supervisors.

A typical day at work involved marketing studies and market research.

Formulating excel spreadsheets and working with other internal Duke Energy Systems.

While contracting at Duke, I have increased my skill level by adding to my knowledge of Microsoft Word, and also being exposed to the use of Sharepoint and Maximo. I feel supported by my managers and my co-workers. I don't think any part of my job is particularly hard, it just requires a bit of juggling sometimes. The most enjoyable part of my job is – more... the level of confidence in my abilities I receive from my managers. – less

Answer incoming calls from customers and give any and all information about their bills, rates, disputes on bills, etc. Management were nice people. All co-workers were very friendly and family oriented. The hardest part of the job was trying to explain to customers that our bills were correct and they did have to pay the amount on the bill. The most – more... enjoyable part of the job was the office atmosphere. – less

This was a great job to have while on break from college. It helped me dicide to become an engineer. I learned the basic atmosphere of an industrial work place.

Receive incoming calls, from energy customers utilizing SAP software. Receive payment, setup restore, new customer service and disconnect also established customer payment arrangement. Promoted to team lead

Great place to work but rotating shift requirements not very family friendly
