Pros

Work life balance was good.

Cons

1. Several of us managers have over 20 years of service, all the certifications, and very personable, but management decides to give the Director promotion to a woman who has a degree in the arts and no construction knowledge. 2. AEP hired a new-grad, they now are including her in all the interviews and manager lunches, grooming her to be a director as well. 3. In a team meeting, management said they want to hire more diversity and women, even if they are less trained, then they will train them after being hired. 4. A lot of the new hires have no idea what they are doing, and all us smart employees are leaving.

Pros

Decent Medical Benefits for cost. Never a shortage of work to do.

Cons

Very clear decline in culture since the beginning of pandemic. Out of touch middle and upper management. Highest performing, most talented employees are leaving or retiring, and their absence is really starting to show.
