Pros

Highly competitive pay within the Utility industry, as well as other industries. Terrific benefits including a 401K and a very generous Retirement Security Plan for all employees. They also provide employees with discounts for various personal items from cell phone service; to gym memberships; to vehicle purchases, and they have a very generous Educational Assistance Program with minimal requirements from the employee. We also participate in community events and celebrate holidays on-site - which is not typical in a good majority of today's workplaces. I work at headquarters in Westminster, CO and it is a beautiful facility. Our property backs to a large pond where there are areas to take breaks or enjoy your lunch. I have visited two other company facilities and they were both very nice, clean, modern working environments. The people are the friendliest and most helpful I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Management regularly includes me in meetings and decision-making processes, which I appreciate greatly! Tri-State truly values their people and encourages input and open communication from all employees. I highly recommend Tri-State to others!

Cons

Would love to have an on-site cafeteria, but may not be feasible with the number of employees at the facility.

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
