Pros

The work I do is great, my peers are awesome, and my manager is awesome. I really love working here. Retirement is one portion of compensation that is in line with industry standards.

Cons

The biggest con is that compensation does not align with industry standards. For this reason, they have trouble keeping service engineers in the Power Quality division across the nation. Even service engineers in the Power Distribution division hire on higher than some PQ guys are, after having been with the company for years. I talk openly and in depth with everyone I meet about their pay/benefits and how they like their job. I always keep my finger on the pulse in the job market just to know how my benefits stack up. It is my opinion that the healthcare benefits are sub par, and pay is mid-low. The retirement compensation, in my opinion is great, but even that is a step back from having used to have a pension plan. Great place to start/build experience. Considering employment elsewhere, maybe even Eaton Power Distribution.
