Pros

Tri-State is a not-for-profit power company that works for its member/owners, which is a plus, they are not in business to make money for shareholders on the backs of the customers. They are making changes to cut costs, become more efficient, implement green energy all while maintaining reliability. Lots of upside opportunity but the road ahead is rough.

Cons

Compared to the power business historically, which has been pretty "safe and easy", maybe even bland, Tri-State is making changes which can be challenging if you don't like that kind of thing. On the other hand, if you like being on the leading edge of change in the electric utility business, this might be for you.

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
