Pros

Being a utility the job stability is good and the benefits are good.

Cons

No clear direction from upper management ideas and direction is always changing. They expect districts to meet high standards of performance without providing the manpower or budget to hit the goals. Over the last several years their focus on their employees and how they are valued has dropped considerably.

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.
