Pros
The #1 reason is the people. My experience is that the rank and file are all really good and dedicated to the work and their teammates. After watching my wife get laid off twice through the great recession I have appreciated the security of working for a utility. The location of the HQ is fantastic.
Cons
Too many old school managers who dont know how to manage young people and a changing workforce (or dont care to change their style). The quality of the senior executives vary greatly, and if you are in the wrong organization it can be death by a million micromanaged cuts. Does not promote based on merit, still an organization where seniority is favored over ability. Little to no work flexibility, still a big "cheeks in seats" culture.
