Pros

Very collegial/friendly environment. I feel that my work is truly impactful given how necessary electricity is. There are plenty of employee organizations if you want to get involved. They have a Student of the Business program that really helps you understand the company as a whole. Having an on-site gym was nice. The health insurance plan is pretty great. The PPP annual bonus can be quite generous in a good year.

Cons

If you are not good at networking, upward advancement will likely be difficult for you. The culture places heavy emphasis on word of mouth. Upward advancement takes a while because there is a lot of employee retention at the senior levels. There are probably worse problems to have as a company. This is more indicative of how nice it is to work here. Additionally, the electricity industry doesn't seem like it has very much growth on the horizons.
