Pros

Excellent work life balance. Easy to get time off when you want it. I rarely ever stay late - which is nice. I like most of the people. They are fun to be around. It's pretty cool to work at place that is so important to the community.

Cons

As you may have seen on the news - management sucks. The "good ole boy" system is well and alive at CPS Energy. If you are female, it's hard to get promoted. If you aren't from Austin Energy, CP&L, or some other utility one of the executives are from - you just can't get promoted. This will change soon. A new CEO is due mid-2010. This should change all the dynamics. Currently, there are no raises, bonuses, or promotions at CPS Energy. Not sure when they will be reinstated. Please note – don’t believe everything you read or see on TV about CPS Energy.

Pros

Great for learning how to work in an office setting. Site visits were really cool. Intern events were fun. Worked on projects with the communication engineering team that genuinely helped them.

Cons

The communication engineering department is a little understaffed, they need a few more engineers.

Pros

Decent Government style benefits, on site cafeteria, volunteer events

Cons

I hate to say it, but the organization is going downhill. Employee morale is low in many departments. Working from home opportunities are becoming rare pushing talent elsewhere. Benefits are getting worse by the year. Leaders are micromanaging and the pressure is starting from the top. This is the first time I’ve considered leaving the organization since I’ve been here about few years. I really thought I wanted to retire here, but they are no longer investing in employee well being. They are simply worried about how the view is.
