Pros

The people here are great to work with. Very accomodating, helpful, and hardworking. It's also a meaningful place to work because what we do benefits cooperative utilities.

Cons

Tri-State is losing people to other jobs that offer better compensation and more schedule flexibility (i.e. full remote positions). They hold town halls for questions employees have, but whenever full remote and better compensation is brought up, it is dismissed as a joke. Most groups have at least one unfilled position, if not more. Tri-State is having a hard time attracting new talent. And the employees that stay are doing more work and not being compensated for that additional work.

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
