Pros

Great Pay and Benefits, especially for the area.

Cons

The people who actually put power on the grid (i.e. maintain the revenue stream) are not valued by upper management, because they are highly compensated. Money keeps a lot of dissatisfied people employed, therefore there is a negative culture on the operating crews. Operations works under a microscope from multiple fronts. Multiple times a day you get tasked with fixing deficiencies that are not under your control to prevent, always with a back story of you allowing low standards to prevail. This often comes in the forms of an e-mail, with a picture of something somebody saw in the plant. It gets old, especially when you are generally very busy keeping up with federal requirements. People who fail out of initial license training don't get paid as much, but have much greater upward mobility than those who earn their license.
