Pros

Good retirement plan. HR tries their best to take care of the employees. Good opportunities to learn about ISO and its operations.

Cons

Had a life time lesson at ERCOT. It's a good place to be trapped in with low salary and no career advancement, at the same time working under supervisors who can be very political, abusing and do not have any personalities. Very few groups have work life balance, most don't have. Upper level managements are biased by the lies, do not take necessary actions to resolve these issues.

Pros

-From a Power Systems perspective the job provides unique exposures as the ISO operates the entire Interconnection as it's a small island unlike the Eastern and Western interconnections. -Low and Middle management do in fact listen to their employees. -Work culture promotes flexibility and freedom as long as we deliver results. -Work/life balance is generally good compared to other companies.

Cons

-Pay could be better given industry strandard. -Depending on your department lots of after hours working during projects outside the regular job duties. -Referencing the aforementioned con, work/life balance can be poor during projects.
