Top utility in the nation

Pros

There is a reason Eversource was ranked the 21st Best Company to work for in the United States by Business Insider. Employees at Eversource receive very competitive salaries (median salary is $106K), along with a tremendous benefit package, which includes two 401K plans with company match, three-weeks vacation to start, and a tuition reimbursement program for those looking to further their education. Although these are just a few "hot items" people look for in a company, Eversource provides multiple ways for employees to advance their careers through multiple development programs. If you work hard and yield positive results, you are rewarded accordingly. Additionally, our new CEO's vision is aimed to improve both the overall experience for our external customers, as well as increase the value on employee engagement across the company. To me, this is how a utility should be run.

Cons

While the company seems to be doing a better job of this, we need more millennial-aged employees. The average age of employees seems to be mid-late 50's, and while this is not necessarily a "con", I feel that we need to attract and retain the next generation of employees to carry the company into the future.

Pros

The people really cared about the company and each other. Many employees stayed for their entire careers. There were many ways that employees were able to get involved in groups that helped enrich the workplace environment. The company treated safety and environmental complI ancestors in high regard.

Cons

Eversource was a great place to work pre the "merger of equals". Once the deal closed and golden parachute of Chuck Shivery was fully deployed, NSTAR leadership decimated all the Northeast Utility management and suppressed the awesome culture as described above in Pros. The main goal of the company became a reduce costs game and that is why customers see many more contractors conducting work on the infrastructure in a slow manner. The upbeat employee engagement is absent and people are retiring (or being forced to retire, like the former CFO who roast the ranswer of NU from intern to CFO pre merger) in massive numbers. This is creating a brain drain and forcing younger and/or newer employees to pick up the slack. In turn, these younger/newer employees are leaving for greener pastures (no more pension in place to reward folks for staying their entire career). This has created a never ending new hire and exit interview cycle at the company. Many people on glass door touted the pay was good here. Since I've left I gave seen my salary rise nearly 20% for the same work. I hope the "right sizing" required post merger is completed soon (it's been almost four years of post merger of equals uneasiness). I really loved working there for 7 years and would like to return someday but not as the company currently stands.
