Pros

As with any utility, it's a stable place to be. You don't have to worry about getting fired, unless you go out of your way to do so. Some departments are better than others on work life balance. Try jumping around to find those who prioritize less meetings, and allowing more focus on getting work done. The people are generally nice and team oriented. This isn't the same at non-utility places.

Cons

A lot of people are checked out, especially the older folks. This isn't just with this company, but every company I have been at. A real shame, because some people want to make a difference, but are forced to work with those who don't really care due to factors such as low growth opportunities or near term retirement.
