Pros

Benefits are very good--from 10% of your salary for profit sharing, and 4.5% of your salary in 401k matching to low cost health care. The exposure to the Texas Energy industry is very valuable if\when you decide to go to a different company. Technology is current and always being updated (almost to a fault).

Cons

Taylor, TX is a drive from Austin\Round Rock etc... Places to eat are limited. Overseen by Public Utility Commission whose decisions can impact raises are barely a COLA, unless it's with a promotion and then it is usually capped at 10%. Management panders to market participants instead of listening to ground floor employees. ERCOT is definately not run like a private company, that's for sure.b
