Pros

Excellent work life balance. Easy to get time off when you want it. I rarely ever stay late - which is nice. I like most of the people. They are fun to be around. It's pretty cool to work at place that is so important to the community.

Cons

As you may have seen on the news - management sucks. The "good ole boy" system is well and alive at CPS Energy. If you are female, it's hard to get promoted. If you aren't from Austin Energy, CP&L, or some other utility one of the executives are from - you just can't get promoted. This will change soon. A new CEO is due mid-2010. This should change all the dynamics. Currently, there are no raises, bonuses, or promotions at CPS Energy. Not sure when they will be reinstated. Please note – don’t believe everything you read or see on TV about CPS Energy.

Pros

Strong history, lots of customers. Well known; good reputation. Low rates. COmpetivie pricing. Good management. Great people. FUn activities. Good benefits. Nice branding. Pretty logo. Interesting challenges. Great work locations. Centrally located.

Cons

Big company, slow to change, lots of different interests. Diversified, but confusing. Parking can be hard to find sometimes, expecially when there are parties like fiesta or something like that. but really its a great place to work. i really like it. nothing bad to say, really. other than there are lots of people, so sometimes you can feel like you are doing a lot of different things and being pulled in different directions and stuff.
