Overall Reviews at Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E)

Most toxic work enviroment i have ever experience- even the military wasnt this bad
Toxic work environment: sexist and racist people in the organization I worked for in Eureka, California. A LOT of nepotism. Benefits ( health insurance and tuition assistance) made me willing to tolerate the work retirement-once that was completed, I left the company.
Prosbenefits/tuition assistance
Consracist and sexist work environment

Excellent place to work and an amazing company
Love working with PGE
Apply yourself and you will not regret it. PG&E is an amazing company to work for. Don’t get discouraged if you don’t receive a call or email right away, just keep applying for the position you desire and that you may be qualified for.
ProsGreat support all around
ConsNone, all about what you make it.

Non contemporary company
Top down traditional organization. Limited employee input and involvement. Risk and change averse. Hierarchical. Continuously changing top leadership. Different culture especially for women.

Poor management. Do not value staff's efforts.
I found management very micromanaging, but no inherent interest in employees success. Their appraisal program is from the 1960s. They have little interest in employees contributions either.

Depending on your boss, good place to work. One boss was immature and valued here say more than direct and open discussion.
Good place to work if the boss is fare and open to discussion. Hard to become full-time if you are a contractor. You have a better chance of success if you work directly with the hiring manager and keep third party vendors away from your work. The SMEs were great.

Awesome benefits
They pay extremely well. Being able to move around in the company is awesome too. Only thing that sucks is the customers. They HATE PG&E. Call center is the worst department for PG&E employees but they offer a good amount of overtime if you're interested in that. Pays very well.
ProsGift cards, free food, great management
ConsCustomers

Used to be a great company to work for, not so much anymore
If you like to be constantly behind the pay band, overworked, and underappreciated then please work here. This used to be a great place to work but all levels of management have been corrupted. Maybe the new CEO can change things, but it's not looking great.

Great place to work. Good management. Great engineering tools. Great planning. Treats employees with respect and cares about their well being and development.

Initially very good
Until a reorganization occurred I was very pleased and positive about my role.
After a new Senior Director, who was subsequently removed, led our operation and displaced most of the existing professional staff with non professionals who were promoted over the incumbents I soon returned to contacting.

Not as bad as expected
It was a good company for a utilities company. If you're looking for a start-up vibe with full autonomy, don't work here. They are very compliance driven and need to follow all the rules and regulations as a utilities company out to be.
