MLGW

The management in the utility distribution departments are made up of a bunch of people who have at one point worked out in the field. This unfortunately makes them unprofessional, emotional, unorganized, and unsafe due to their “do what you have to do in order to get the job done” mentality. 
The management will tell you that “overtime is optional unless there is an emergency so let them know if you cannot work late” but when you have prior obligations to family or other things outside of work they get upset and tell you “this job comes before your family so you are needed more here than at home” but then proceed to be sure that they themselves are off work in time for their family or obligations that they have. 
They fail to realize that when I come to work it is to pay bills and support my family which in turn does put them first. When you have an argument or concern you are dismissed and your questions remain unanswered or unaddressed. It is a very “rules for thee, but not for me department.” These things are also coming from members in management who will holler and scream about no sleeping in the company trucks on your lunch break but then drive their pickups out to a job, sit there, and take a nice little nap. If they are unprofessional with you and speak disrespectfully to you then it is fine. But once you return that same energy their feelings get hurt and they want to punish you. 
To put it very bluntly and unprofessional… the “little man” syndrome gets the best of them 90% of the time. 0 stars and I vote for a complete overhaul of management. They are disrespectful, unprofessional, unorganized, immature, demeaning, and hypocritical. 

A typical day at work is walking 8 to 10 miles a day and usually having to fight a dog or two. I learned that the job is definitely harder than it sounds and there are alot of areas in the city I have never been to before. The management does not care about the employees. The co-workers are great. It's a friendly atmosphere. The hardest part is getting routes that are in rough areas in the city that are older areas that have electric meters in backyards where everybody has a dog that you have to go back with to get a reading not knowing if that dog will attack or not. The most enjoyable part is that you get to go home early if you finish your route and still get paid for the whole day.

This is one of the best paying jobs in Memphis with amazing retirement benefits. They have their own credit union which is great. However the management is very poor and unsupportive of the employee, so it becomes very easy to lose your job here. Some people are overworked and stressed due to frustration of dealing with angry customers all day. Office Co-workers tend to be older women who are unfriendly and gossip. This is perfect if you work outside in the field. Other than that I have no complaints due to the benefits

MLGW  is good company to work for, but because it is a Publicly owned company it has to serve the people of the city of Memphis therefore the policies are very favorable to the citizen. There is a lot of mandatory overtime hours that are required by the employees that caused a lot of turn over in the call center. The work life balance and constant pressure from old timers who are insecure about their job position caused stress at times.

It's a good company. The only thing I don't like is the bargaining unit (union employees) do not receive discounts. If we do no one has every told me how (and I have asked). I found out that the corporate employees can get discounts. I feel that is very unfair. This is a power company and we can not even get a discount on our light bill!
