Pros

Benefits are very good--from 10% of your salary for profit sharing, and 4.5% of your salary in 401k matching to low cost health care. The exposure to the Texas Energy industry is very valuable if\when you decide to go to a different company. Technology is current and always being updated (almost to a fault).

Cons

Taylor, TX is a drive from Austin\Round Rock etc... Places to eat are limited. Overseen by Public Utility Commission whose decisions can impact raises are barely a COLA, unless it's with a promotion and then it is usually capped at 10%. Management panders to market participants instead of listening to ground floor employees. ERCOT is definately not run like a private company, that's for sure.b

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.
