Pros

Benefits are great and some of middle management are great.

Cons

No loyalty to their hard working employees. If one of the bosses pets say something it is considered to be accurate and HR believes whatever the plant manager or VP says without even getting the other side of the story.

Pros

Good company for starting into power industry Good benefits

Cons

Lots of lip service and broken promises. Promotion of unqualified individuals Terrible communication Preach safety unless it comes down to $$ then it becomes "just do it" Budget is over emphasized causing necessary upgrades and projects to fall by the way side. Sometimes you need to spend some money to fix something!
