    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Strong company with great management, very proficient in its core functions and very customer oriented.

    Cons

    Progress Energy went thru a transformation from a Southern company to a wallstreet style corporation focused more on shareholders and stock price then the service it was providing and the people responsible for providing those services. It started to eliminate basic things like family day picnics and small motivational rewards. It was a pleasure to go to work at Progress Energy and then it was just a job.
