Pros

Decent work life balance. Opportunity to learn almost everything about electricity and how it is run in the state of Texas.

Cons

Easy type of work. No pressure or major challenges. Compensation is not bad but compared to other ISOs, they pay the least. Located in Taylor, TX where there's little to no outdoor activity.

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.
