Business Outlook
Pros
CenterPoint is a solid, stable company with very good benefits for employees. The changes brought about by de-regulation in the industry, preceded by the merger with the NorAm gas business, have really changed the company over the years, from the Houston Lighting and Power days to today's competitive businesses and regulated businesses combination.
Cons
Large size and old school thinking limit innovation. The company has a reputation in some departments as being a haven for "good ol' boys" making it harder to fit in if you are not of that ilk, but has made great strides in diversity in most areas.
