Pros

The things that I feel are maybe better than other utility contractors are: Diversity Flexibility Training They do actively work to repair inefficiencies, strive for constant improvement and developing a culture of safety.

Cons

1. Limited Internal Mobility – Employees have few opportunities to transfer between departments, with job openings primarily filled externally instead of offering alternatives to layoffs. 2. Premature Promotions – Rapid company growth in certain departments leads to promotions before employees experience & skill level would typically warrant, creating leadership and efficiency challenges. 3. Poor Cross-Department Collaboration – Departments that should be working closely together often struggle with teamwork. Instead of fostering cooperation, collaboration & support, time is frequently wasted on blame-shifting and finger-pointing. 4. Restricted Management Authority – Even top-performing employees struggle to receive raises or promotions when earned due to limited managerial discretion. 5. Overwork Culture – The company applies the same deadlines and workload expectations across all projects, regardless of differences in complexity, unique challenges or skill level of the employee. This creates an overwork culture that can lead to burnout and decreased efficiency over time. 6. Unfair Performance Expectations – All designers face the same KPIs regardless of experience or pay, leading to resentment when lower-paid employees are held to the same standards as those earning significantly more.

Pros

You know you are appreciated. Work life balance.

Cons

Division of work responsibilities per project design takes longer vs. Conception to construction responsibilities remaining with one or two engineers per design.

Pros

Nothing at all. It's all listed in the cons.

Cons

We were sold off to them from Optimum. Quickly trying to become the worst company in America to work for. They took away our vacation. Our sick time. Our personal time. They took away holidays. Now they are saying that working a holiday is mandatory unless you asked it off 2 weeks before it (they gave notice of that less than a week before it). They monitor wherever you are, doing whatever, soon as that truck moves. You aren't allowed to backup. If you call in two times in a 90 day period, you're in trouble. If it gets to 8 times (the last call in continues it on) you're fired. They overwork you because they are "behind" and you're just expected to work later. We're expected to do more and for less. They even denied our merit raises saying they didn't believe in them. They don't care about your family and wanting to see them. To be able to spend time outside of work. DO NOT WORK FOR THIS COMPANY IF YOU CAN HELP IT!
