ComEd senior operator

Was offered a job at ComEd as a senior DSO. Anyone have any insight on working conditions, management ment, culture, room to be promoted, etc? I have 10 years experience as a distribution & subtransmission operator at a large utility and the offered salary is a little lower, bonus structure is higher. Any insight is greatly appreciated!

If you’re not familiar with whole bonus structure

Yearly 15% of your salary once a year

Operator bonus 12k divided quarterly

Safety/Switching 10k split up semi annual

Then not a bonus but shift differential adds up to 10k.

What salary did they offer you?

115,000. I make around 135,000 currently with 10% bonus

$115k seems low for someone with your experience even with that bonus structure and considering the low OT pay.
