Pros

The mission and the members are the last remaining reasons to endure working at NRECA.

Cons

Employee morale is in shambles and so is productivity. Went from great CEO (Mr.Glenn English) and senior leadership to clique-based amateur leader wannabes performing for themselves at the monthly all-staff free for all / weirdfest. Many, highly-respected staff were ousted, retired, or found something better. The remaining hard workers are barely keeping the organization running while trying to ride out the craziness until the board does something about it and replaces management. Sad to see an organization crumble in such a short period of time.

Pros

The company has excellent benefits, and the mission of serving employees of rural electric cooperatives is rewarding. NRECA is a non-profit organization that provides a good work place.

Cons

Insurance and Financial Services Department has average place-holder management. A few key contributors in Product, Information Technology, and Actuarial provide the management decisions. The company is rife with politics, Wokeism, and cronyism. If you are ambitious, you may not get promoted because of the politics and cronyism. It has become a cesspool of DEI, cronyism, and politics, but if you can handle this environment, the benefits and company mission and benefits can offset the negatives.
