What is PECO?

What is PECO?

Philadelphia Electric Company.

I know many people in both PECO and 98. It depends what you want to do. PECO is all line work. Outside every day, storm work, etc. good company, great pay, good benefits. 98 you will see mainly inside work and lower voltages. Similar pay and benefits. If construction is slow you get laid off. Not many layoffs at PECO. Not many people have the opportunity to choose so take advantage whatever you do.

Good man, like denny3992 said, it's a lifetime gig...

Not sure how true these numbers are but I have a friend who's a linesman in PECO. He said theyre currently accepting an apprenticeship class. There are 12-15 spots and 1600 applicants. Not good odds so you better know someone good.
