Business Outlook
Pros
Great Team and lots of potential. There is "some" openness to updating processes and workflows to align to 2025 standards. The team is expanding their footprint into new regions (lots of options for moving to new territories)
Cons
Business ebbs and flows making long term investment and planning impossible. Management structure is 95% former field assets who got promoted into management roles with no experience as managers (A LOT of 'we'll figure it out as we go') XCEL is a small company trying to swim in a big pond and there is a ton of nepotism and favoritism with a lot of positions. There is plenty of growth opportunities on the field side but virtually none outside of that.
