Pros

A substantial number of dedicated people, great benefits, they will do many things to ensure that the potential for a layoff is kept low. Also some interesting things being done in the non-utility businesses.

Cons

Most of the previous reviews are consistent with pointing out that the lack of career opportunities is incredible. Even for many of the dedicated people, there are just tons of employees who don't care if they ever get promoted or learn another thing in their entire career. Therefore, the company spends almost no time on career advancement opportunities. It is as if the deal is, "we will give you great benefits, do everything we can so that you do not get laid off, but don't expect to ever get promoted or have someone even care".

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.
