Shows No Loyalty to Employees - Anonymous employee Smart Electric Power Alliance Employee Review

Great mission oriented organization with wonderful people. Love the focus and content.

No real cons. Changes in leadership have changed the culture but that always happens with new leadership. A little less mission oriented these days perhaps but still a very solid organization.

SEPA picks and chooses who and what to dignify. There is an obvious and consistent lack of congruence and direction within leadership in this organization. Because of this, SEPA has lost plenty of talented and hard-working people with the constant changes, restructures and lack of clarity and respect for the diversely skilled and passionate people that have worked here. Despite the impact of industry shifts, SEPA's most recent C-suite cronies have uprooted the culture and values that made SEPA such an attractive place to work. Feedback on the matter is rarely addressed and actioned and the fear of retaliatory behavior is imminent. Going along doesn't guarantee security here unless you land in a sweet spot where your manager will advocate for your value. Albeit the organization's mission is a good one, in theory, and is what keeps SEPA acknowledged but does not yield respect behind the scenes due to the shady behaviors of the decision makers. Until SEPA gets to the root of the problem (a flip-floppy revolving door of performative leadership) the company morale will continue to be chipped away until they are left with exactly what they want - easily placated operators who will keep their head down until their number is called.
