Pros

Decent benefit rates - awful administrators. Awesome Senior Management.

Cons

Middle management has been there for years, they are complacent, resist any change, etc. Ideas, complaints, etc. are treated as though they were never heard. The company is growing, but the managers seriously lack any professional management skills.

Pros

The organizational structure is flat and one has exposure to all levels of executive management. The work environment is multi-cultural which makes for an interesting employee mix. The jobs are interesting and demanding

Cons

From an industry perspective, the salary levels are low. There is not much opportunity for advancement as most executive management is located overseas. The work/life ratio is definitely skewed toward work. There is not much praise for a job well done

Pros

Decent pay Decent benefits Growing sector within the utility industry

Cons

Management is completely unfit to run a utility scale energy business. Any disagreements, or opinions will be dismissed and you will be labeled as unfit for the team. The workload is extremely high, and you are given 0 tools to do your job correctly. Ground level management in the Philadelphia office, is absolutely atrocious; leaving most decisions to the unqualified. The groups is building assets across the United States, however these assets do not perform at all. Management does nothing to support the ground level employees that are working day in and day out to ensure safe and efficient operation of the assets. Often, proper PPE isn’t even provided to new employees. Management will express that they are one family, that they enjoy helping people, and that they give the proper tools for success. What really happens, is you are thrown towards multiple fires and expected to resolve all issues, with no tools to succeed.
