Pros

Still a few remaining employees that care about their customers and peers. There are still employees here who try to do the right thing.

Cons

If Leadership does not care about its own employees you should not expect much if your a customer. I have been here long enough to see that employee engagement has soured. Loyal employees have gone by the waist side due to poor Management. This used to be a great place to work for when Leadership cared about it's employees. I can see the Culture has changed and truly believe it has effected our Customer Service and our mission to be an effective "public utility".

Main Office....pretty good place to work.

Financial analyst

Business Outlook

Pros

The people are nice and easy to work with. The benefits, pay, and holidays are all pretty good......especially these days. Bonuses are usually given annually if metrics are met and the annual raise is pretty standard. Safety seems to be important to them and they really have a vision for where they are going in the industry.

Cons

Some departments are better than others when it comes to managers. Most seem to be pretty good or at least tolerable but this is left to interpretation. There are a lot of people who have been there for decades. This is good because they have a lot of knowledge to pass on. On the other hand, it is bad! They are behind the times when it comes to doing things and are inflexible when introducing change. You have A LOT of "this is how it has always been done". Their processes could be significantly more efficient if everyone was trained better.
