Pros

- Co-workers and team dynamics are strong - Some flexibility depending on who your “boss” is - Pay, 401k match, bonus opportunity - Stability (as long as you suck up to the right people)

Cons

- Benefits recently reduced - Good old boy culture with toxic male leadership who openly make sexist comments - Limited advancement opportunity (been told by multiple leaders expect a minimum of 10 years for a promotion) - Pervasive culture of discrimination - especially towards women. Witnessed open negative comments about women that if reported, would get the reporter in serious trouble. - Poor safety culture staffed primarily by people without experience in the field of professional safety. Poor safety record and the company doesn’t care. - There is a small “in crowd” that controls everything, mostly a group of white males focused on profits over people. Be careful to be too honest or you’re viewed as a problem or “negative”. - If you aren’t a people leader, you’re nothing.

Pros

$$$$. That is really all

Cons

Extreme shortage of manpower. A management team deliberately downsizing the workforce to the point where 60-70 hour workweeks have become the norm. Work-life balance is nonexistent with far too much mandatory OT. Haven't slept in 56 hours??? Too bad, it rained and we haven't done anything for 40 years to maintain our system. A terrible safety culture where serious injuries are far higher than industry averages and deemed "the cost of doing business." Sound like a disgruntled employee? Correct, along with the few remaining linemen that are left. The company puts profit in front of everything they do and we are treated as you would expect...only worse. There is an exodus of senior linemen (15+ yrs.) leaving, as management pops champagne. The company knows morale is low and continues to drive it lower, with contractors being the go-to solution.
