Pros

I have been working here for 20 years and I have loved it every day. Tri-State has been a great place to have a career. I get a great salary, the industry has always been stable, my co-workers are great and I get excellent benefits. I have also had a lot of opportunity for advancement. In fact, Tri-State paid 100% for me to get my Masters Degree. They have also paid for me to go to multiple training classes. Since the HR department has been a complaint on here, I know the department just got a new Senior Manager. My boss said that HR is starting to implement a lot of new technology and upgrade many processes. Too bad a lot of these people writing reviews aren't around to see it. I bet things will start changing for the better. I work in a great department with a good manager so I can't complain. Like any workplace there are some good managers and some bad ones. From my understanding, a program is being created to better train managers. My manager is a good guy that always understands work/home balance.

Cons

The building is getting pretty outdated in a few parts. I would suggest some remodeling done.

Pros

Good benefits. Hard to get fired. Opportunities to learn if so inclined. Some great lower level people who make the place go. Find a manager and play the political game. You won’t have to work. Some employees have light workloads and can get away with not doing much

Cons

Upper management is disingenuous. HR takes the side of management in all matters. Political environment with cliques. Dysfunctional practices and an inability to hear feedback. Self defeating practices. They increased the amount of upper management by maybe 50% during Highleys tenure while cutting down on employees and benefits to cut rates which did not happen. No pension for new hires. Have lost numerous members due to exits and more have announced. They plan to supplement loss of members to serve data centers. Overall not a good recipe for success
