Pros

You learn about the wholesale electricity market. You might get to visit a power plant. You get high responsibility projects. You work with very very smart people. You see the operations center which is cool for someone coming into the company at such a low level (you need special clearance that only allows people on that floor access to their desks).

Cons

Start at 7:15am. Ends around 3:30 pm. If you're in Ann Arbor...you did it right. Fast paced work environment which keeps you engaged. Make a point to meet everyone on the floor.

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.
