Pros
- Talented, friendly employees who are motivated to serve external/internal clients; not motivated by individual financial gain; do not compete against others inside the company - Above-market salaries and benefits for level of responsibility - Moving between organizational units/departments is encouraged - Can be decent work/life balance in certain departments
Cons
- Senior leadership does not have the innate capabilities to develop a true vision to unify the company; they state mission objectives as a vision, such as providing safe, affordable, reasonably-priced power, but those have no emotional appeal. - The past five years of "operational excellence" have been extremely poorly executed. Instead of effectively analyzing the processes (of which there are many that are both ineffective and inefficient), they launched an initiative overload of re-orgs and head count reductions which just left fewer people to work with the same or slightly improved ineffective/inefficient processes which causes remaining employees to become extremely stressed. - The company's stated values are Excellence, Integrity, Respect, Continuous Improvement and Teamwork. Leadership does not always live these values. Several senior managers who are well known for disrespectful/harsh styles remain in positions for years. Leaders are rewarded for optimizing performance in their areas of responsibilities instead of optimizing performance for end-to-end processes or the company overall.
