Once an Industry Leader, Now Just Trying to Keep Up!

Pros

Good people at the working level and very competent. Very family friendly company. Decent benefits, pay is good, holidays and vacation time are typical federal government and better that what most companies offer.

Cons

Seems to be a disconnect between upper management and employees. Over regulation and governance prohibits getting anything done in a reasonable time frame. Difficult for anyone to make a decision without a committee. Used to be a leader in the industry but management that is more political than technically competent has failed to retain or replace vital technical talent sufficiently to retain that leadership.

Pros

A very challenging industry in a very challenging time; BPA's work for the citizens of the Pacific Northwest to support both a sustainable environment and economically advantageous electricity costs, sets a benchmark for other utilities to emulate. Electric utilities face climate change, new and changing technologies, conflicting policy direction, and stakeholders who don't see eye to eye. The industry has to keep the lights on and cross some pretty turbulent issues. BPA does that with aplomb.

Cons

Decisions are complex and full of paradox because balancing sustainability and economic viability are full of potential conflict. Don't come to BPA for black & white answers.
