Decent Place to Work
Customer Service Rep (Current Employee), Bellevue, WA – May 3, 2013
Pros: beautiful location, good friends at work, great benefits
Cons: terrible management
Typical day at work is just fine. Assisting customers over phone, in-person and via email. Focus on providing great service to every customer. Leadership of department does not support employee advancement, employee development, and does not ensure for positive employee experience. I most enjoy the customers I work with on a daily basis. The worst part – more... of the job is the people I report to that somehow find a way to make it a very negative and unfriendly place to work. – less

It's changing
Business Analyst (Former Employee), Bellevue, WA – September 24, 2012
Pros: people, healthcare, paid time off
Come in with a high salary and stay for the long haul their field, can demand a high salary up front, and doesn't need to move up. PSE pays less than the market rate for most positions and does so because of their benefits. A lot of positions at PSE offer decent work/life balance. That's been changing in recent years and it's a departmental variable.

The – more... people are wonderful. Generally people here are warm and understanding. The company is change adverse but has been pushing through a lot of change recently. Jobs at PSE can be moved to any PSE location without a renegotiation of salary.

I really enjoyed being able to work on issues that affected the company. PSE trusts its employees to do the right thing. – less

Dead end place to work. No hope but at least it is work.
Professional (Current Employee), Bellevue, WA – September 19, 2012
Pros: some people work from home
Cons: management
not a great place to work. bought out 5 years ago by a foreign company and has been declining ever since.
Managerment out of sync with employees. Job titles are very important
No chance of advancement.
I was told, by management, if I got another job that no one else would want my job because they would not get paid enought.

Group not well managed and no training was provided.
Associate Municipal Land Planner (Contract) (Former Employee), Bellevue, WA – June 26, 2012
Pros: free lunchs, use of company vehicles
Cons: no benefits, no paid time off and no possibility for permanent placement, no parking, no public transportation passes provided
I liked my co workers and the work itself was interesting. Would have liked some training instead of just being handed random tasks with no idea as to how it fit into the larger picture. Best part of the job was doing site visits to see our hard work in the office in action.

Employees are fun to work with
Customer Service Rep (Former Employee), Bellevue, WA – June 6, 2012
PSE is a good company to work for. Most hours are from 7:30am-6:30pm but is open 24hrs. As an employee I learned alot about how Electricity works. The employees are great to work with. They are very helpful. During Storm season there is alot of stress from callers who's power is out.
