Pros

Used to be valued under past management

Cons

If you're not a supervisor or manager, you're treated like trash. They act like you're a child and try to squeeze every drop of dignity out of you while feigning their "guiding behavior". Complete double standard for employees vs management when it comes to basic respect and expectations of productivity. I've seen both sides, the managers just go to meetings all day to do ice breakers and get nothing done while patting themselves on the back. Don't drink the koolaide

It’s very disappointing to hear about your experience, as this is the opposite of what we strive for. Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We appreciate you passing this on so we can look into your feedback. SM

Pros

The company has longevity and a history of working through tough times. It's done a good job at rebranding itself to move far away from Enron colors. The popular mindset of progressive climate action has done a good job at getting its shares up, though it's disappointing that it ignores nuclear power (I know all about the PUC and Oregon policy so let's not pretend big companies can't change people's minds, it's why Measure 97 failed, because of big companies investing to fight misinformation) while favoring rediculous bills that would cause socioeconomic catastrophes so large that Oregon would turn into a 3rd world economy (HB 2020 comes to mind).

Cons

The company is trying to get rid of the trade union and plays tokenism to actual progressiveness. It caters toward elitism and it shows.
