Pay is good but incompetence at high levels - IT Specialist II Southwest Power Pool Employee Review

IT management is wasteful and non-technical. There are a lot of non-technical people in IT that are trying to do a somewhat technical job and they get paid more than many technical people who can actually understand and accomplish things. Very few young people and women are hired. Because nobody gets fired and technical competence is not rewarded, there are a lot of people who are not good at their jobs who get paid very well. If you aren't one of the them, it can get frustrating when you never get a promotion.
