Pros

It may be considered to be one of the better employers in an area where there may be few other options with Fortune 500 companies.

Cons

Incompetent management. Healthcare with poor coverage including a $1000 deductable

Advice to Senior Management

Do not place sr. leaders into roles that they are not qualified by either work experience or degree to oversee.

Pros

Room to grow while staying within the same company. Experience in the utility industry. Training is provided to encourage career growth.

Cons

Poor health insurance and benefits. Incompetent middle management and failure of senior management to recognize the issue.

Advice to Senior Management

Entergy is generally a good place to work, however, management needs to open its eyes to the real issues of the company. The company will not be successful if middle management is unable to follow through on the desires of senior management.

Pros

I felt like Entergy enabled me to take on new challenges, and I feel like I contributed to the company. I learned so much while working there. They were more than willing to let me get out to the field which was a big plus.

Cons

Depending on where you live, the work locations aren't the best. Working in power generation means working at sites that are away from the city.

Advice to Senior Management

Keep it up. Everyone I met in upper management had been with the company for a long time and were experienced in their fields.

Pros

Salaries are high for this area. A clean and safe work enviroment with a heavy focus on personnal safety.

Cons

Stressful at times and if a Nuclear Unit trips offline it can mean long hours and call out. This is not an exciting or cutting edge high tech technical career path. Nuclear is a technically conservative business by necessity.

Advice to Senior Management

Hire more employees. We have lost a lot of skilled people through attrition and we are beginning to feel the effect, big time.
