Pros

Family environment and atmosphere, salary and benefits were above average for the industry, opportunities for advancement were abundant.

Cons

Since 2012 with the focus on ratepayers rates (rightfully so I might add) being reduced the company has done significant downsizing. This has led to a seriously corrosive environment to work in. I left at the end of 2013 before it got really bad.

Pros

It's a matter of time. The constant rounds of layoffs will make you walk on eggshells. I survived the first two but got let go in the last round due to the never ending cuts.

Cons

Senior management does not know how to manage. Instead of making smart long term decisions, they cut jobs and functions every quarter to make their numbers. The upper ranks reek of cronyism and people who can't get jobs elsewhere so they never leave. We're stuck with incompetent executives.

Pros

Good pay. Good people that care about their work and the company. We are actually contributing to the community by providing electricity, a vital resource to society.

Cons

Operational excellence (OpX) means layoffs. If you are thinking about coming to work here, please reconsider. Layoffs are happening throughout the company as our leaders prepare for major changes in our industry.
