Pros

I worked at CPS for 6 years. I worked in many different depts working my way up from substation construction, UG civil, distribution and designing. CPS will pays great and takes care of you. You’ll think the grass is greener on the other side but it’s not unless you retire and work for a contractor then it’s great. So don’t leave if you’re thinking of doing so. You’ll regret it.

Cons

Other than the customers being very demanding and CPS having a slow process overall there’s not many cons

Pros

I think Paula Gold is an amazing CEO, I knew her (I mean I spoke with her once or twice) before she became CEO and I loved her energy. She always told us to say hello to her if we saw her in public, and I did, and she would be very kind and interact with you, even if she didn't remember you. In addition, the benefits are amazing, the people are so easy to work with and the culture is very customer centric.

Cons

The main office is downtown and parking is difficult.
