Great Company for Employees

Pros

Pays generous salaries and gives great benefits. The people are genuine and generally easy to work with. The company is focused on solving our energy needs today and being prepared to meet our energy needs in the future.

Cons

It is a very collaborative company which can sometimes prevent quick decision making. Change management can be challenging but once change happens the people stick with it.

Pros

The owners are great to work for. It's an easy job with a lot of responsibility but I love it.

Cons

The pay could be higher. They could choose a date to pay us instead of paying us when they feel like it
