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

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.
