Pros

In less than one year working for Eversource, I have found that this company provides a strong team based environment and that opportunities for employee growth and development are better than most other companies I have worked for. I am given challenging work assignments and am pushed to learn and expand my skill set every day. In addition, I appreciate that Eversource places a strong value on work life balance - that is a concept lost on many major corporations in this day and age and it is refreshing to work in an environment where employee health and well being is a focus area.

Cons

The company has enacted a great deal of change in the past year - from system changes and cutovers, to leadership and cultural changes, to workspace layout changes, to workforce reductions. It is in some ways obvious that the workforce is being asked to handle a much greater volume of work in an effort to apply lean principles and positively impact the bottom line. Turnover has been relatively high this year and I think that might be one of the key root causes.

Pros

Quality employees are leaving in droves. Instead of posting fake reviews, how about studying why you can't retain good employees.

Cons

There are too many to list

HR isn't running a campaign. We often ask our some of our new hires to complete surveys and provide feedback on their candidate experience. Generally our survey results are extremely favorable and point to challenging work assignments and a positive experience.

Pros

There is a reason Eversource was ranked the 21st Best Company to work for in the United States by Business Insider. Employees at Eversource receive very competitive salaries (median salary is $106K), along with a tremendous benefit package, which includes two 401K plans with company match, three-weeks vacation to start, and a tuition reimbursement program for those looking to further their education. Although these are just a few "hot items" people look for in a company, Eversource provides multiple ways for employees to advance their careers through multiple development programs. If you work hard and yield positive results, you are rewarded accordingly. Additionally, our new CEO's vision is aimed to improve both the overall experience for our external customers, as well as increase the value on employee engagement across the company. To me, this is how a utility should be run.

Cons

While the company seems to be doing a better job of this, we need more millennial-aged employees. The average age of employees seems to be mid-late 50's, and while this is not necessarily a "con", I feel that we need to attract and retain the next generation of employees to carry the company into the future.
