Pros

Decent pay and benefits in comparison to other non-utility companies

Cons

So many changes in department configurations, leadership and processes. People are getting let go by being told they are being put on a plan to improve their performance and then no plans are given. Then, they just let people go and encourage them to say they are resigning for personal reasons, instead of being laid off or fired. When it is brought up that would negate unemployment benefits, they claim they will never contest that. They totally did contest the unemployment, but the State office approved the unemployment because they could not provide proof of their statements.

Pros

There is nothing positive at all.

Cons

The west Regulatory group is run by a bully, the benefits are so-so and the overall leadership is unstable. The only training you get is "here's the file from the last filing, figure it out and don't ask questions."
