Pros
It beats being unemployed, barely. They take their business and money very, very seriously.
Kontras
There are no employees at PacifiCorp. You are human resources, and like a tool you are to be used and thrown away. Management is accomplished via threats and not by respect. The entire industry considers us a joke. When you interview elsewhere, they already know why you are trying to leave. Overall pay has gone down. Bonuses were considered a standard part of pay prior to Mid-American taking over and are now 50% less. Career advancement is non-existent. Budget goals are so arbitrary and so backwards that $20 calculators are a battle to get. Everything is secret. People disappear with no communication as to what happened or why. It's simply not the type of environment conducive to employee growth, friendliness, or open communication. Do not share concerns with management, they will use it against you. Keep your mouth shut and nose to the grindstone.
