Pepco Holdings Employer Reviews

On a typical day, I would
- troubleshoot applications and systems that are having problems
- write reports on major events that affected the network
- review overall performance of the NOC systems
- work on the integration of DNP3 secure systems as part of Distribution Automation Projects
- write/modify XML code for various NOC applications

I did not like working here at all. What I experienced was that there was zero room for creativity or growth within a position. So what you are doing today, you might be doing for 20 years.Competition for other jobs is numerically rated and very difficult. The place is tightly controlled in every way I can think of. Like many corporations, the rich – more... get richer... A LOT.

Like everyplace it depends on your boss. My boss was not nice to me and there was nothing to do about it. Demeaning and rude.

You must work 12 hour shifts for all storms no matter what you do or how long it goes on.

I found the culture to be very old fashioned. I found women treated too often like the 50's. The executives treat lower people like dirt sometimes. The top people are still mostly white men as far as I could tell. Diversity is talked about but I do not really see true diversity in terms of lots of different kinds of people.

People sit at their desks, mostly do not take breaks or even lunch a lot, rarely converse. But it depends of where you work.
No holiday celebrations, etc. in my division, very grim environment to me. designed for maximum profit at all levels, so I guess that is good for stakeholders. The benefits are ok. Miles and miles of cubes. Quieter than a library.

You do not actually accrue sick leave. If you are having surgery - no problem you can take off, but if you just don't feel well, people all come to work. Nobody ever calls in for anything less than a huge flu or surgery.
If you stay a long time you will get a small pension on top of your 401K. man people are older, and they do hire people over 40. – less

Managed all A/R and cash. Supervised staff and trained staff. Interacted with outside auditors as well as internal auditors. Management absolutely encouraged training and seminars to promote self improvement and continuing professional education. I enjoyed having a flexible work week and the comaraderie in the work place.

My job is a great place to learn new things. I work with a lot of differant people daily which is fun.

worked on AMI project,sup[ervised 14 tecs ,good mang. team liked working in field and with coustomers .

Love the management and my peers!! Positive working enviorment.

Changing programs, Busy days - Staff tunover, department constant changes.

Overall a good experience and great corporate culture. As the summary states, the company expanded into markets aggressively and fell short of revenue goals.

I worked as a landfill operator. The manager i worked for was great he taught me alot of knowledge. The facility i worked at was completly falling apart, and was not meant for a worker to be stationed at. There was no bathroom, water, and no area to get away from the extreme noise, extreme heat, and exhaust of generators except a desk between the generators.

I was an intern at Pepco. It was a great place to work and gain experience. A typical day at work for me was talking to my supervisors and getting the directions I needed to complete any projects that were assigned to me. All my supervisors and co-workers around me were great and made me feel welcome. Their were tough projects that I had to complete, – more... but all the directions were clear cut, and if I had any questions my supervisors would explain it to me. – less

This company is great for one that needs a job with great benefits. However, there is very limited mobility for a career moves. It is an aging workforce with many near retirement but choosing to continue working so not many options from promotion. The culture is currently evolving but it is pretty much about who you know for upward moves.

Great place to work and opportuinities for advancement, if your willing to wait!

Each control employee has a site to report to in which an assigned job is given such as preventative or corrective maintenance. The system they use to assign work is cumbersome due to all the reports required on a weekly basis. This takes away from actual work or individual training for new employees. The company has given me the basic knowledge and – more... the incentive to increase on my own time my skill set for being able to program, diagnose problems, and build a control system. The most enjoyable part of the job are all the high end customers I get to work with and the numerous control systems I get experience with. – less

installation of electrical meters also mataine up keep of company truck and kept track of invetory.

A work day starts early, you must wait to recive your wroute for the day then you can navigate to were you need to go and park. I was able to read a map, read meters and locate them. Management is strict and fare. Your co-workers are very helpful they are your best asset with the company. The hard part of the job is the weather and wildlife you never – more... know what is giong to happen. A perk of the job is being outside working and going to locations that you never seen. – less

PHI is caught between a big and a small company. Independence is allowed but not celebrated. The corporate business model does not fit the work my division is doing.

I am currently employed here but would love a new challenge. It is a great place if you want to do one thing for 30 - 40 years.

BUSY DAYS,LANDSAPING,GOOD CO-WORKERS,GETTING THE JOD DONE

typical day- rotating schedule, two 15min breaks and one 30min lunch. Call center environment. Easily replaceable.

The company is management heavy and in the interest of providing value to it's stockholders, has gotten lean and mean to point of incompetency. In short, too many Chiefs and not enough Indians, so to speak.
