Pros
Benefits. Compensation. Energy hardly has trouble in any economic situation.
Cons
No teamwork. Company is very traditional and conservative in its ways primarily because older people work there and are from rural areas. People have been there so long, nothing changes because they do not know what exists on the outside. You cannot make suggestions to change things; they are very set in their ways. Cannot move up based on performance or skillset because of politics. Lots of backstabbing. Very disrespectful. Things are done very inefficiently because employees do not update their skills and do not have an idea how to properly implement an infrastructure. Money is spent on products and technologies that do not end up being used because the employees do not know how to implement those products. People are there that are so close to retirement and need to move on; they are so checked out that management is non-existent in the network dept. Management is unapproachable and are more concerned about tee-time with VIP (state officials and politicians) Infamous co-op management.
