Pros

Acceptable pay and benefits. Good job security given whats happened in Michigan lately.

Cons

Minimal or zero opportunities for advancement. Those that do advance do so by either being connected into the good old boy network or are the beneficiaries of a affimative action program. Too many middle managers run around from one position to another every 6 to 9 months without ever learning the job or their reports and stay just long enough to do some damage then get rotated to another position. Senior management is obsesed with comparing a utility with an infrastructure from the 1950s to those which are far more modern.

Pros

As much as this company allows you to learn, use this opportunity for experience and for your resume so you can move on to better things.

Cons

Lots of micromanaging and also unfairness. Overwhlemed with work and training and bosses believe we got the time for all of it. They give certain people, usually the new employees, do more than their job title asked for because they don't trust them or because they take advantage. Older employees don't need to do such training because they are relatives. Severely underpaid and management believes getting a promotion with little pay and more overtime makes up for your title. Management believes they are better than you and don't like being at fault and give the most outlandish excuse for any problems that arise.
