      Pros

      Good pay and employee benefits, healthcare and paid time off.

      Cons

      Lowest morale of any place I've ever worked. Low work / life balance. Lowest number of employees per MW of gencos and it shows. Budget gets cut more and more each year so required maintenance gets postponed year after year. Not enough people to perform required work. Managers dont speak up at Houston meetings for fear of losing their jobs.
