      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good benefits package, older workforce in mid level management which is retiring over the next 7-8 years leaving room for advancement for those of us starting out, excellent job security, collegial working environment, mid level managers are great bosses, good level of communication from CEO Steve Holliday, employee discount stock plan starting

      Cons

      Too much red tape to cut through for service requests, customer service representatives need to be tested and vetted, better internal job posting board needed to improve recruitment from within, education reimbursement ought to be upped (reimbursement in exchange for work commitment perhaps) to allow for better educational programs

      Pros

      Great pay for CO-OPs and new hires with opportunity to earn fantastic overtime wages. Relaxed environment as long as there is not a weather emergency. Engineers, even CO-OPs, are considered management and are in turn treated with a certain amount of respect from the beginning of employment. The company is an industry leader and all the equipment is state of the art. The 'Grid is definitely a company that is well funded and generous to their employees.

      Cons

      Weather emergencies offer great overtime wages, but being a utility company, much of the time you work until the problem is solved. 20 hour days are possible in major weather events such as snow storms. HR can be a pain to deal with and direct deposit will take months to kick in.
