Evergy

Evergy has very competitive benefits & is a very inclusive workplace. When starting out, I had a lot of paid time off, great salary, good insurance and even had access to a company truck to drive while on the job. However, after working for a while I noticed the culture really start to decline quickly. Management started making a lot of unpopular changes and would ignore our concerns when we voiced them. The company became more profit focused and less customer and employee focused. Our work started to pile up and we couldn't keep up with the load. I started carrying a lot more stress home with me. I wasn't sure if the pay and benefits were worth it anymore...

The people you work with will be very welcoming, management is good and attentive, the starting pay is better than most, and once you get hired on it opens a lot of doors for benefits and growth. I wouldn't say they discriminate by age but there is a lot of information you have to learn in a six week period. The only bad thing is the insane customers you have to deal with back to back. You have to repeat yourself every single day, answering the same questions, and being talked down to while you do it. I highly recommend the company, but not the job itself. If you're introverted or lack confidence, do yourself a favor and apply for a clerk position. 

I was hired as a Wind Tech. I and have progressed to a Tech. II position. The work is either very routine or I am assisting with troubleshooting type work. Physically, the job is not the most intense I've had but some days will require more exertion that others. I am blessed to be working at a site with climb assist lifts. Evergy has unionized and non-union sites and groups within the company. I can't speak for the non-union side, but my healthcare, wage, and benefits are quite fair from what I am used to. If you don't mind getting oiled and greased up, working on wind turbines can be fun.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Hours of operation and bennifits if you get hired 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The different state laws and compliance guidelines 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The younger you are the better . If you are older they get rid of you and basically call you stupid 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
You come in up to 30 min before your shift so you can log into the system to be ready to take a call as soon as your shift starts .. and you don't get paid for that time

What is the best part of working at the company?
Good pay and benefits. Safety focused culture. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The company is immersed in DEI / ESG, and strongly supports social agendas that conflict with Judeo-Christian values. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Safety focused. It can be frustrating as a manager, however. For example, since I’m a white man, I could not conduct job interviews unless someone who was not a white man was also conducting the interviews with me.

Very micro -managed. In order to keep your job you have to be in the “In Crowd”. Their employees are not treated equally. There’s an ego problem with most of management. The hardest part is not being able to fully commit to helping your customers sufficiently & effectively cause Evergy bad decisions has made it hard for customers to be able to pay their bills or get a pay arrangement that truly helps them. 

The company itself is no longer a family company. They have sold out to investors and have increased work load while decreasing employees. They have implemented new systems that aren’t capable of doing some basic functions of the jobs because they refuse to pay for those capabilities, then require employees to find work around a to get jobs done. Moral throughout the company isn’t good and there are a lot of politics involved in advancement. 

Personally, I love working at Evergy. The Company provides a great atmosphere and I have seen my level of responsibilities increase drastically over the past couple of years. However, while my responsibilities have increased, my pay has not (except for annual raises). I am currently doing the position of someone who is two levels greater than me and do not see any chance of promotion in the near future to help close the gap in compensation.

Strong regional utility with great pay and good benefits but after 2 mergers in just over a decade the company is trying to find it's direction moving forward.  Current executive management is only concerned with shareholders and profits not employees.  Work life balance has gotten completely out of balance.  I enjoy overtime but not 35%-45%.  And that is true in all departments.  You will make good money but you will get burnt out and move one.  

I have been amazed by the stories existing employees have told me about not having the tools they need to get work completed.  Management is currently struggling with attracting and keeping talented people due to low starting salaries.   Upper management does not take responsibility for overall low morale in the company.  Instead it places that burden on front line and middle management.
