Pros

Okay work environment. Some nice people and if you are a self-starter you can learn about the energy industry. Don't expect to learn anything from your boss - totally worthless but if you like short skirts and high heels then maybe it isn't so bad. The industry itself is quite interesting and a growing especially with all the innovation on the renewable side. Learn what you can on your own and from some of your fellow team mates and then move onto a real job somewhere else. Actually work/balance is okay because no one really seems to care. You can dress really casual - almost too casual in my opinion but if that is what you value then this might be a good place to hang for awhile.

Cons

Horrible management all the way up to the very top. Lots of nepotism and friends of the boss and belonging to the same church. Worthless middle management. Communication within and between departments is sorely lacking. HR loves to talk about culture - what a joke. It is a fake culture but there are still some good people there. Just go along and pretend like everything is great and move on when you find a better opportunity.

Pros

The lower management is good except when "yes people" are hired. Team is great, always ready to help each other to complete what needs done. Other teams are good however often their management are very insulting.

Cons

Under paid and over worked They will say you're like family and then drop you the moment without question and without cause. They do not live up to their values. They will promise things they don't follow through on. Management hires "yes men/women" for leadership roles. Management will often tell you what you think is wrong...and basically say you're stupid for bringing it up. Upper Management will knowingly hire less qualified leaders to save a buck. They'll expect you to work more and if you're hourly you will not be approved for overtime without having to write a dissertation first...and it will probably be denied. Good luck with your deadlines. Training is haphazard at best, (mainly because they don't use people with training skills, just people that are the closest friends of management)
