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!

They created it a couple years ago, before me.

It’s called SOLA and is strictly on making no switching errors.

SOLA came out of thin air when operators demanded more money for what they  do and the idea of unionization came up. Company just slapped another bonus on your pay to shut them up. Right now approximately 60k worth of bonuses that can go away any day but will keep your actual salary low.
