Dysfunctional "leadership" will go unchecked and unchallenged
Pros
SRP offers good pay (thanks to the community rate payers), great benefits and there are many good people throughout SRP.
Cons
Not all departments at SRP have the same quality of leadership. It all depends on the Director. SRP believes in what is referred to as, "Creative Management". SR. Directors allow and encourage Directors to manage their own group as they see fit. Unfortunately, political agendas are the driving force at SRP. Because of this, many in leadership roles who should NOT have been promoted or should be removed go unchecked and unchallenged. Things such as, who you are related to, golf with or conform to, will get you farther than qualifications, hard work, or good character ever will. This makes SRP a breeding ground for narcissistic and poor quality leadership. Consider the aforementioned, if you are contemplating an employment opportunity in the Substation Design, Construction & Maintenance (SDC&M) department at SRP. The recently (as of this year) promoted Management has adopted the outdated, and oppressive "leadership" style of the Director... lacking substance, vision and most obvious, integrity. Not all Directors at SRP are poor leaders. There are a some good ones and even beloved ones. It's just unfortunate that the bad ones will be endured until opted retirement, no matter how dysfunctional they are.
