First Energy Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"I worked for first Energy for 1 year as an intern during my senior year of college. At first I had my own projects that involved troubleshooting problems with motors, lights, or even VFDs and correcting the issue. Then, as the internship continued I became more of a supporting Engineer. This entailed reading through technical documents and creating drawings for the new systems being installed."

"I've been employed by FirstEnergy as a co-op for 2 years before coming on full time in 2019. My experience has all been at the Perry Nuclear Power Plant. I've worked with several helpful people who helped me transition into the work environment and are always willing to lend a hand whenever I have a question regarding work procedures."

"I took a one-year contract position with them that included traveling to career fairs, social media maintenance, full-cycle recruiting and training."

"The owner is running his company into the ground."

"I've worked in utility for over 14 years in the same venue, but due to a merger, the leadership structure has changed therefore the core values have changed quite drastically though that may be due to the size and scope of the company now. It has been a tough transition, but it could have been made somewhat smoother if there was more continuity. I would say yes to recommending the company, but with a warning that versatility and flexibility is a must!"

"FES has one of the best compensation packages and employs some of the nicest folks that I have ever worked with, however, it is not very well managed. The administrative infrastructure is reflective of the coal power generation facilities. It all works but it is not efficient. If you are looking for a cutting edge opportunities then look elsewhere. If you are looking to tow the line and get-along-to-go-along then this may be the place for you. Donnie Schneider and Tony Alexander are sharp!"

"I worked for FirstEnergy Solutions(FES) for 5+ years. FES has maintained a focus on leading market movements. I have found that FES is strongly focused on ethics and a strong company community."
