      Pros

      Great compensation and benefits. Lots of job security. Great people.

      Cons

      Majority of people in IT department have very little technical or development skillsets. Shocking few now how to create a "Hello World" app in any language. Most folks will never leave because their lack of technical skill set would make them unemployable at most other places especially given most people's pay.

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Many very nice people work there

      Cons

      Lack of a culture of compliance. Lack of willingness to address accountability issues. Manages organization by nostalgia rather than understanding potential long term threats and issues.

      One of the best things going for engineers in central Arkansas

      Senior operations engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good compensation and benefits. High level of job security as a non-profit regional transmission organization. Down to earth employees, transparent company, approachable CEO. Almost guaranteed a 10% or better bonus. The new SPP energy market system is interesting and provides more variety in job opportunities.

      Cons

      Being "evolutionary not revolutionary" can be frustrating if you're an innovation kind of person. Things change slowly at SPP and there are plenty of hard heads in management. Overachieving is not rewarded and habitual slacking is not reprimanded. "Time served" is too much of an influence on the promotion process. Bad managers can linger for years.
