The good, the bad, the ugly

Pros

The majority of the people who work there, the benefit package, competitive salary.

Cons

Upper mgmt, favoritism, incredibly reactive as opposed to proactive, extremely cautious company, slow to embrace change, terrible work/life balance. No advancement unless you work in certain groups, such as Commercial or are favored by upper mgmt (that is the perception to those below the exec team). There are only 2 execs who were down to earth and approachable.

A company that dosent care about their employees

Pros

Good Pay and Benefits but that's about it.

Cons

If you want to work for a company that doesn't care about their employees this is a company to work for. I worked for them for over 17 years and was let go due to economic hardships that the company is . The management is a joke and the employees have more experience than the managers they work for.

No direction for management

Pros

Decent wage and a great entry job into power production.

Cons

Poorly trained managers so don't expect any team development.Lip service to ethics and safety when when they directly conflict with money.The say they promote from within but it is clearly more lip service as they hire from outside.Increasing medical costs and lowering raises...figure it out.
