Pros

You won't be working long into the night as the company definitely has a "nine to five" culture. Most work weeks will be 40 hours (nominal) and less than that after you net out your long lunches and ample morning and afternoon breaks. The quality cafeteria is an indication of, and inducement to, the social culture prevalent here. Additionally, you'll enjoy relative job security so long as you keep yourself positioned in a core business function and ensure good relations with your immediate supervisor.

Cons

Despite a "flattening" of the "spans and layers" several years ago, there continues to be an excessive middle management cadre with little to do. As a result you'll find yourself in meetings with no clear purpose and too many attendees, and probably be subjected to weekly status meetings and/or written status reports. Salary administration is driven by a cumbersome and unhelpful annual performance review process, and the annual raise percentage spread between outstanding, average, and below average performers is such that it will take many years for a meaningful pay delta to emerge. Top performers could earn far more, and be given greater responsibility, elsewhere. Many will nevertheless stay at SRP for the job security and great benefits.

Pros

Alternate work week schedule Incentive pay plan Flexible work hours Good communication Stability Interesting changes in industry involving regulation Good Benefits 401k, health, dental, vision, pension plan, life insurance Excellent office locations Work life balance

Cons

Slow promotion schedule Large bureaucracy Compensation growth limited Regulations inhibit innovation Municipal status limits growth opportunities and profit opportunities resulting in limited upside to compensation particularly in energy trading areas Poor office quality e.g. furniture, cubicles, lighting, etc. Managers have a tendency to micromanage because finance, technology, and accounting positions tend to be greatly overstaffed resulting in a light workload Limited opportunities for advancement beyond senior engineer/analyst level

Pros

SRP is two companies joined at the hip. There is the Power side, which is more corporate and then there is the Water side, which is part of the federal reclamation project as established by the Federal Reclamation Act of 1902. I work on the Power side. It's like working with family. Everyone working at SRP has a keen interest in how SRP is viewed outside of company. Everyone is proud of SRP's accomplishments inside and outside of the company. We are all working toward the same goal... a reliable source of energy for our customers. This is evident throughout the company... from the customer service agents to the people working in the field and everyone in between.

Cons

The pension could be better. I have witnessed a few promotions that were given to "pet employees".
