Pros

The company does have an excellent pension program, only thing is you have to spend 25 years there for it to be worth it!!! Other than that nothing really !!!

Cons

Management is terrible, I worked in electrical department at the power plants. Everyone in that department hates each other and comes in to work bitter every morning because they hate their job so much , but actually make a decent salary and aren't skilled in anything else so have to put up with it. Most employees in that department started off a custodians and were given the chance to work in the electrical department as a move up, but actually have no interest in learning the job, just took the spot because it paid better. And the other group which has been working there 10 to 20 years has lasted because of union protection, but can't tell you where a motor that they have passed by for the last 20 years is even fed from. The time I spent there, I was miserable and kept trying to convince myself that despite all the negatives it could be a good place to work , I just had to put in my dues, but to be perfectly honest, I felt the time I spent there, I actually got dumber!!! COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME. Do yourself a favor and keep on looking!!!

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.
