Pros of working at Duke Energy

Innovative company that always finds there way in the top companies in the area. Great pay and great ideas being produced by the leading energy company around.

Cons of working at Duke Energy

Newly built 2022 innovative building not finished. Not many things I don’t like about the company. Work culture great, great pay, benefits, projects and management. Room to grow is big to me and I see myself doing great things for the company.

Duke Energy benefits

Reputation. I love knowing I’m doing the best work and most quality work for a well respected company my in area. All the leading projects from drones to renewable energy initiatives that make working everyday well worth it.

Pros of working at Duke Energy

Nothing. The only reason I stayed was because I could not find another job near the area I lived.

Cons of working at Duke Energy

Endless issues - the management is abysmal, tone deaf and make awful decisions daily. All they care about are their golden parachutes and giving themselves outrageous bonuses and raises. They don't care about the worker-bee employees, humiliating and harassing us non-stop and constantly cutting any perks & benefits while keeping our salaries low. And it's not a safe place to work.

Duke Energy benefits

Get a reliable paycheck, that is all.

Pros of working at Duke Energy

Friendly people to work with I worked in security at the Bad Creek project then I worked in food service management for 91/2 years at the Oconee site.

Cons of working at Duke Energy

I worked day shift in food service. I usually worked the day shift when I worked at the Bad Creek project. I would not like working any night shift jobs I would like to work to supplement my income.

Duke Energy benefits

I like working with the public in a friendly work place. I like meeting new people working a few days a week would keep me busy.

People are friendly, respectful and considerate. I've been with Duke over 17 years and I have really enjoyed the time I've been there. Pay is pretty good too.

Cons of working at Duke Energy

Since I work in the Call Center, we do have to work long hours due to storms, but those don't happen all the time.

Duke Energy benefits

Insurance is awesome and I used to work for a large insurance company and I don't think theirs was as good.

Pros of working at Duke Energy

The pay was excellent. The hours sometimes were very long during outages. Some of the people were good to work for and other's were hard to get along with.

Cons of working at Duke Energy

The pressure to maintain quality work in very hot and humid environments was very limiting. Also having to be dressed out for radiation protection was taxing in these environment.

Duke Energy benefits

Paid time off as well as pay.

Pros of working at Duke Energy

Pros - just about everything except continuous "restructuring" and potential job loss. Cons - count on a restructuring at least once a year in your department and potential job loss.

Cons of working at Duke Energy

The only thing I don't like is the constant departmental restructing.

Duke Energy benefits

Great people, compensation, benefits, and internal career development oportunities.
