Pros
Tri-State compensates their employees very well. The benefits package is good. They are flexible when you need time for family matters.
Cons
The company is managed in a strictly top-down manner. Top management very rarely seeks input from the specialists who work for them, or even the senior managers who report to them. Unfortunately, these managers are not as knowledgeable as they think they are and the systems they implement don't solve the problems they are meant to address. There is a lack of teamwork. New and redundant systems are put into place as different mangers attempt to solve the same problem in different ways. The company has lost it's focus on serving it's members/owners as internal focus has shifted to pleasing management.
