Pros

Some coworkers are talented and dedicated. Decent compensation and benefits package.

Cons

The biggest issue at Tri-State is the leadership — or the complete lack of it. There are no clear leadership principles, no consistent direction, and no accountability at the top. Decision-making is often reactive, politically driven, and opaque, which leaves employees confused and disempowered. Managers are not trained or supported to lead effectively, and leadership development is practically nonexistent. Priorities shift constantly depending on who’s in the room, and feedback or concerns are often dismissed or ignored. The culture is stifling, and morale suffers because people don’t feel heard or valued. Innovation is discouraged, and new ideas are often met with defensiveness. It’s hard to feel any sense of growth or progress in an environment where leadership is fundamentally broken.

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
