"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!"
