      Pros

      Company has a great philosophy behind it with an emphasis on employee development. They invest time and money in growing their employees. If you're willing to relocate, there are many opportunities for advancement across the company. The people who work for this company genuinely care about the success of the company and each other.

      Cons

      The industry as a whole is challenging. The pace is so fast that if you have no electrical experience, you are thrown into the mix and many times must fend for yourself. Because there is no formal training program, it takes a very fearless and ambitious person to be able to jump in with two feet and just figure it out. There are plenty of people available to help answer questions as you go, but the primary method for learning is simply trial by error in many ways.

      Pros

      ESOP - employee owned culture & fantastic retirement. Multiple verticals and great breadth of supplier support. Continued expansion offers more opportunities for customers and employees.

      Cons

      Pace of technology deployment and enhancement needs to be faster.

      Pros

      I worked there for 13 years. Not all for Border States. We ended up "Merging" with BS around 7 years into my Employment, With all of the hopes and dreams promised that culture would never change. In fact that is WHY they wanted us to be a part of their team. During my time there I really enjoyed the people that I worked around in my office, and learning new things and helping others.

      Cons

      Flash forward to the last 3 years of my employment with BS. We have moved into a new office that is 2-1/2 times further away than our original location was. Culture has taken a 180 degree turn(if you can call it a culture anymore) All of the sudden your weeks are more full of random "Lunch and Learn" meetings and various "what went wrong here office conversations". Management doesn't even have enough time to manage due to consistently being on conference calls with whatever new position the "Board" has decided to whip out of thin air.
