Pros

Coworkers, earn effort and amazing culture

Cons

Insane amount of overtime and micromanagement, seems some managers and supervisor do not have a clue about how to lead a team but somehow are still able to have their manager jobs. It is a bit concerning HR has not taken action despite several complaints from employees. Salaries are low compared to the rest of the industry, thus only a very few employees are now making long-term carriers at Ercot

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.
