Pros

Good pay, good benefits, lots of opportunities to learn on the job and transfer into other roles. Stable job and possibly a stable long term career.

Cons

Tough place to work. If you don't have utility experience it can take a long time to learn the ropes there. The way the company is run can feel really ridgid and stuck in their ways. Then on the flip side, they'll cram change down your throat by force. They don't take firing lightly, and they're not afraid to burn out their employees. They are very slow to respond to poor performance, careful not to get sued, so I had a real hard time letting go of someone on my team who was performing well below expectations. Some folks find a comfortable spot and coast along. I didn't find it very supportive. The work was fulfilling but I cared too much about my work to do it poorly, and was broken after nearly 10 years by a lack of support or resources. They work you until you drop. The reward for doing good work is more work.

Strong learning environment with supportive team members and clear guidance from mentors. Great exposure to real-world supply chain and sustainability projects.

Limited ownership in some projects due to internship scope, but still a valuable learning experience overall.

Pros

- wfh - equipment provided - 2 raises a year

Cons

- very cliquey - OT is only 2 additional hours a day. nothing more - management prioritizes metrics over employees’ wellbeing - zero downtime in between calls. constantly back to back from beginning to end of shift - other depts do not hold their weight, which results in CSR’s having to do twice the work. can/will lead to burnout - union uwua local 1-2 does not advocate for members like they should. they are very cozy with con ed management. will be lackadaisical with member requests
