Pros

The pay is good for the area.

Cons

management out of touch. upper echelon gets there with serious ethics violations. run by lawyers, not people that know how to run a power plant. don't care about employees or equipment...run plants into the ground. Retirement of employees is going to leave a HUGE hole in plant operations.

Pros

The work environment is very entrepreneurial with the ability to lead and own projects outside of your normal skills and work scope.

Cons

Due to the entrepreneurial environment, sometimes there is a lack of alignment on meeting key objectives which can cause friction or duplication of effort which is not the best use of employee resources.
