      Pros

      Higher than average pay and many of the employees are good people.

      Cons

      The place is poorly managed. It is very bureaucratic because it is quasi-government. The place is very political. Favoritism, gender bias and racism are rampant and known to management. Ironically, because of massive theft by management in the past, there is a lot of talk about ethics. Hilariously management has imposed workshops on ethics on the rank and file--who weren't the ones who embezzled millions from the organization.

      Poor management creates miserable environment

      Pros

      The people you work with are some of the smartest you could ever interact with. Those who are doing the real work at ERCOT are top-notch and create a wonderful environment. Room for advancement.

      Cons

      Unfortunately, once you get to the manager level, it all goes to hell. Managers are only concerned with covering their own butts and care little about the overall mission/success of the company. Too often, departments end up fighting with one another and nothing is done to improve morale. The micro-managing that occurs is enough to drive you to drink. Too often I heard from my supervisor that their manager needed to approve something and the VP above them would also need to sign off. It ends up being a case-study in poor leadership.
