Pros

The pay is decent. The workload is literally non existent. The company has an OK 401(k). Potential for "growth" if you decide to crossover to another department. OT is plentiful.

Cons

OT is a major issue within the security department. The turnover is high. The quality of personnel is laughable.

Pros

Strong job stability in a regulated utility environment, along with competitive pay and solid benefits package. My immediate team is genuinely supportive and collaborative — we work well together and have each other's backs. The work itself offers a sense of purpose given the essential nature of the industry.

Cons

Upper management operates with limited transparency and decisions flow strictly top-down, with little visibility into the reasoning behind strategic choices. The compensation structure does not differentiate for high performers — annual raises tend to land at or below inflation. Work groups across the department are heavily siloed, which limits cross-functional collaboration and slows knowledge sharing and adds frustration.
