Pros

So many pros to be here! First and foremost, the people that work here are absolutely fantastic. Everyone has a positive attitude and are very friendly towards one another. Management stresses to have a good work/life balance and are extremely flexible and accommodating to their employees (especially if you have a family). The benefits are some of the best I have ever seen in my 20 years of professional work experience, especially the medical benefits they provide you. Plenty of days off to recharge the batteries, as Calpine gives the most company holidays off I have ever seen. Fantastic working environment for hard working professionals.

Cons

They usually bring you on as a temp employee for a year before you are hired full time and unfortunately they do not count that year as a year of service with Calpine. Since Calpine offers so many days off during the year for their employees, temps have to bite the bullet and take a lot of unpaid days off.
