      Pros

      The team was amazing. Compensation was competitive.

      Cons

      Senior management has no vision and lies outright about future plans. Decisions are made without any basis of data Layoffs are ongoing no matter what is said

      Downhill, downhill, underground even

      Pros

      Decent pay, pension, benefits, good coworkers, etc

      Cons

      The company has gone downhill in the last 5 years. To be honest, the HB6 management crew (political bribery) cared more for the employees than any of these new executives. Shady, noncommunicative, cruel, even. It will never be a "premier utility" and employee engagement/satisfaction and reputation will take YEARS if not DECADES to recover.
