Pros

Good annual raises and benefits package.

Cons

The Corporate Wheel will crush you if it gets ahold of you. Always this company is being "bought out" by "yet another" mysterious foreign company nobody has ever heard of, and next thing you know, they are doing a "re-org" which means people are going to get fired for no reason at all. The old-timers here still have a pension plan for retirement that they are working for and toward. I saw American Water release an employee for no reason known whatsoever, and he was within 6 months of reaching his golden date of hitting American Water's pension system and therefore being eligible for retirement!!!! You would knowingly kill a man's retirement after he has faithfully served you for 19.5 years???!!! It's that crap that scares you working for a company that employs such mercenaries.

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.
