Low compensation. Upper Managment is a good old boys club almost exclusively based in Idaho. Middle management is inexperienced. They harp on how important culture is but can't live up to the hype when it truly matters.

Thank you for your honest review. While our roots in small-town Idaho certainly lent themselves to this perception in the past, we are working hard to create a culture that makes all of our employees feel heard and included at POWER.
Regarding compensation, we'd like you to know that we are taking the necessary steps when we receive feedback and have hired a compensation manager to ensure that the salary and benefits we offer reflect how deeply we value our employees and meet industry standards.
We’re sorry you didn’t find a fit at POWER, but we always appreciate the feedback.
Was a genuinely great place to work. Great people and great culture. It was worth the slightly-lower-than-average pay because work life balance and benefits were great. I enjoyed going to work every day.
Cons
Poor financial decisions from upper management regarding the shareholder program led to the company's demise. Upper management sold out to WSP. Management made millions while long time employees got zilch. As someone else had mentioned, retention bonuses were unfairly distributed. Most people didn't get any retention bonus even if they had been long time employees of the company. It really felt like everyone who wasn't upper management got stabbed in the back. They got their payout then dumped the company. Still stings to this day.
