Pros

50% work from home. Good benefits. There are SOME great managers at the company. There are great opportunities to do good utility work. Most of the lower level folks are really good people

Cons

The culture at Tri-State has changed. The family type culture is gone. Employees are more of a number now. It’s a job so it’s not all sunshine and rainbows but the change has been drastic. Communication is not good. The CEO puts out town halls. They are a mixed bag but a lot of the things said have little to no follow through. VP’s and managers below the CEO are mixed. Some are controlling and micro manage. Little to no communication on decisions. Lots of empire building and overstepping. If you don’t really care and are cool with collecting a salary and flying under the radar, this is the place for you. If you need a job where the mission means something, this may not be the best. The goal has changed and it’s become more about individuals and their agendas.

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
