Pros

Working for a regulated monopoly, the company is pretty stable. There's usually a lot of capital to invest in the infrastructure.

Cons

While stable, there are time when there is a lot of bloat. At times, that capital investment leads to trying to do too much too fast.

Pros

Great benefits. Affordable health insurance

Cons

Stagnant growth. They only focus on leadership development or licensed trades. Growth is based on friendships. Skills and experience don’t mean much.
