Pros

Overall the benefits are still good but this new CEO is slowly taking away our benefits. We used to have United Healthcare (very good health insurance) but CNP recently decided to switch to BCBS. I had BCBS at a previous company and BCBS is a terrible insurance provider, but as of now the benefit coverage is about the same as before. Work life balance is ok.

Cons

Under this new leadership, the CEO is chipping away our benefits to cut costs. Instead of choosing to trim a little off the top of their own multi million dollar salaries and bonuses, leadership has decided that higher insurance premiums would be better for us the little people to take on and I predict they will soon go after our pension and 401k’s. This CEO doesn’t care about anyone but himself (he made comments saying turnover is really good and doesn’t mind people leaving) and I am sure he is trying to position the company to sell it so he can make a fat 200million dollar pay out. He took away almost all of our sick time and then decided to give us free barbecue tickets as if that is equal, yeah I can’t make this stuff up. Pay- Pay increase are like 3% on average, inflation is like 4-7% or more each year so yeah, are pay increases don’t even cover inflation.

Pros

Good work culture and work life balance overall. Coworkers are easy to work with. Benefits are solid.

Cons

Nearly impossible to advance into senior level roles unless you have your FE and PE. Also, sometimes it feels like leadership doesn’t provide clear direction, which can lead to confusion and mistakes.
