Pros

The employees are good hard working employees.

Cons

The leadership is managed by the members of the PUC, who are appointed by the Governor. This is very policial in nature and the management team can not really manage. They spend all the time looking over thier shoulder. Audit and fear rule the company.

Pros

-From a Power Systems perspective the job provides unique exposures as the ISO operates the entire Interconnection as it's a small island unlike the Eastern and Western interconnections. -Low and Middle management do in fact listen to their employees. -Work culture promotes flexibility and freedom as long as we deliver results. -Work/life balance is generally good compared to other companies.

Cons

-Pay could be better given industry strandard. -Depending on your department lots of after hours working during projects outside the regular job duties. -Referencing the aforementioned con, work/life balance can be poor during projects.
