Pros

Depending on job type, compensation is great especially for Bismarck. Some roles get paid outstanding & have "golden handcuffs". Other roles, top performers leave pretty fast as they're underpaid. Has great work life balance.

Cons

Top management, lots of politics. It's a move slow, don't make changes environment. Culture was very good many years ago. People often claimed to "bleed blue" & considered it a family environment. It's been killed off sadly.

Pros

Great benefits - the retirement plan is phenomenal and we have great health insurance. Great cafeteria and coffee shop. Awesome group of people to work with.

Cons

Basin Electric wrote the book on how to be stuck in the past. Work from home is next to none for the sake of “community” - even though most meetings are 100% virtual now. Maternity leave can’t have a gradual return (i.e gone for 6 full weeks, 1/2 time for 12 weeks). Software is outdated. No one knows when someone leaves until they’re gone and can’t find them. Promotions & pay are based on butt-in-seat time vs. performance (which job appraisals do nothing) and HR has their hand in literally everything. Supervisors and managers that don’t have “Sr VP” tied to their position title aren’t trusted to manage their employees and make any decision on them. All for the sake of “that’s how we do things here.” No room for innovation and refuses to change, even if the job market demands the changes.
