An Excellant Place to grow
SENIOR GAS CONTROLLER (Current Employee), Philadelphia, PA – November 12, 2012
Pros: great co-workers
Cons: upper management seems distant
24/7 Operation I control the flow of Natural Gas throughout the city of Philadelphia I work mainly with a Junior control whom I help guide along to learn the job while they help me with phone activities and reports. I am management and i am responsible for my co-workers but this is not a chore for they were all qualified and friendly. the hardest part – more... of the job is maintaining pressures during peak and slow periods and the most enjoyable was ending my shift knowing that I done the very best that I could do . – less

PGW was a very convenient place to work.
Intern (Former Employee), Philadelphia, PA – September 27, 2012
Pros: relaxed atmosphere, friendly coworkers and management, many social events
Cons: not challenging enough
I enjoyed this company and gained a lot of beneficial experience because the members of management were very open to sharing knowledge about the various roles necessary to maintain an organization that provides energy to members of the community. The work, however was not as challenging and competitive as I would have preferred. I liked that they had – more... diversity and there were many company-promoted extracurricular activities throughout the work day and after work. – less
