Duke Energy – “Teamwork culture, but needs to get the lead out!”

Pros

The culture at Duke Energy is very 'collaborative and concensus building'. Good teamwork. Good overall management and leadership. Not the greatest formal benefits, but very flexible with 'informal' benefits - flexible work schedules, bonuses, rewards, etc. Peers in general are good to work with. Managers tend to be promoted from withing, which can be a blessing or a curse.

Cons

Some 'dead wood' that has been there a long time and no real performance management done to weed them out. Managers not willing to deal with it. Tends to 'dumb down' or 'slow down' the organization leading to negative feelings for high performing employees. High performers, as usual, tend to get rewarded with more work.

Advice to Senior Management

Deal with performance issues. Get the dead wood out to build higher performing organization.
