      Stuffy Coporate Atmosphere-lot of tenured people

      Pros

      good benefits good community sponsor of events regulated so they couldn't "special treat customers" everyone was the same

      Cons

      a lot of tenured employees therefore they had a sense of entitlement. they would not think or work outside of their comfort zone. just skating by to get their retirement in. favoritism in certain departments -praise and extra training was based on who you know and not what you know or had a willingness to learn. everything was measured in dollars and not morale. too many changes and lay-offs every 2 years. motivated by fear and not values.

      The compensation, medical/dental benefits, vacation, etc., are absolutely wonderful. Very friendly atmospher. Enjoy the work that I do and everyone that I work with.

      Cons

      Would like to see more workforce so we are able to focus on recruiting instead of paper processing.

      Good place to coast

      Pros

      Decent flexibility in hours and job. Flex time comes and goes, but I was able to attend real personal needs outside of the office with little problem or pestering. Abusing this is one sure way to get on the black list with middle management. Expectations on employees are set to account for the average, so a competent person, with some skill and experience can handle expected work load with little problem (not quite true since 2009/2010 due to cost cutting).

      Cons

      Complacent work force. It's very hard to push any area into tech refresh. Most is 10 years behind what more agile shops consider to be advanced but very stable. Management talks to non-management folks using language and reasoning that is appropriate when addressing grade school kids, not adult work force. Note - this is not a bad place to work, but make sure you understand how utilities work, and learn how to deal with complex work environment.
