Pros
Good salary and bonus opportunities. Good 401(k). Stability relative to other industries. Satisfaction of working to keep people warm, keep the lights on and supporting local economies.
Kontras
Toxic work environment. Extremely political in their hiring and promotion practices. Lack of focus on employee development - especially in Corporate Services segment. Executive leadership team micromanages everything. They don’t trust anyone, including their own Senior Leadership Team. They are either tone deaf or willfully ignorant about the employee experience. There’s a surprising lack of stability for such a well-established, highly regulated, monopolistic industry. Constant shifting focus. Nothing to rally around. Terrible internal communications dynamic.
