Pros

I love that they still provide free water here.

Cons

Where to begin? The executive team is a joke. They cannot lead out of a paper bag. They are sooo greedy and in it for themselves. They would probably sell their own kids for an extra dollar. No ethics and no integrity. All greed. Anyone who is a director or a manager is rotten. They pay their employees too much. The good part is that they will never find a job outside of the regulated utility space because no one will hire these employees.

Pros

Great ops crews that keep the lights on!

Cons

It makes me sad that many of the executives live OUTSIDE of Iowa or Wisconsin and work remotely the majority of the time. Why??? They are out of touch with the customers, communities and employees. Mostly men and Madison based employees are promoted to Director or VPs. And, promotions are a joke and not based on actual performance. It’s rare for an Iowa employee to be promoted, regardless of their outstanding work performance. Some directors are dishonest, conniving & out for only themselves. Office space is a joke. Lots of big $$$ (likely paid for by utility customers mind you…) is spent on executive suite upgrades, exec flight services ✈️ and special exec private parking areas …. Then, new hires don’t even have a desk to sit at for several months+.I’ve seen new hires start crying during their onboarding experience because there were no desks available and they didn’t feel valued. I was a longtime dedicated employee who decided to leave for a more healthy work culture.

Pros

When we need to come into the office, the solar panels in the parking lot provide a lot of shade to keep our cars cool.

Cons

The leaders in finance are worthless and incompetent. They promote the most unethical people to leadership positions. This is probably the worst utility out there. If they were not regulated, they would be bankrupt and their offices would be replaced by a public park. The VPs are a joke.....likely a sr analyst in the real world. My advice run as fast as you can away from this employer.
