Pros

The environment and culture at the Co-Op are unique. It's very family-friendly and team-oriented place. They have lots of activities for the family (they bring in a real Santa at Christmastime) and have fantastic benefits. They eat a lot too, not a bad thing! Pretty low turnover too. Everyone is treated with respect (if not, that's on them). The CEO is very down-to-Earth. He even knows my name and I'm a "worker bee." It's not a small company. There are over 600 employees spread over several states.

Cons

Change implementations are slow. That's not a bad thing, really because they're usually slow because they want to have input on ideas from several different departments/stakeholders, etc. This makes the process lengthy, but it also makes people more involved.

Long term employment considered pretty good, they have a pretty robust pension, the 401 K is nice although they only contribute/match 3%.

Cons

Safety not number 1 priority, pay is lower than most energy companies, management of assets is very poor, employee engagement is very poor, training is insufficient or lacking entirely, managers are poorly trained, communication is poor, health benefits are expensive, HR is a very poor functioning entity, very poor upper management
