Duquesne Light Reviews

Technology is dated and the company is not very progressive. Management is very top/down and not very open to collaboration. Your time is managed and can be micromanaged. Some directors, not all, are too focused on minor details and are not looking at the big picture. They promote heavily from within which is both a pro and a con. A number of people in positions due to seniority and less to do with skills and abilities.

More often than not, you will have a poor work-life balance. Employees are continually asked to do more with less, and the reward for doing a great job is even more work. You have a great vacation package, and you will struggle to find the time to actually use the days you are entitled to. There are a plethora off inefficiencies in the way the company conducts business, and its actually sickening (The company wastes large sums of money, and you grow numb to it over time). Additionally, the only constant at DLC is change- there is some form of large scale re-org at least twice a year. Unfortunately, there is little to no accountability when it comes to dealing with the Union. Any attempts at discipline result in grievances where the troubled party walk away with a slap on the wrist, at best.
