Micromanagement and Low Morale Drive the Experience

Pros

Decent compensation and benefits package. Pay is generally competitive for the market, and the benefits are adequate.

Cons

Leadership has fostered a culture of micromanagement and finger-pointing rather than collaboration and accountability. The company president has publicly conveyed a message that employees who are unhappy should simply leave, which reflects a concerning lack of interest in employee feedback and engagement. Employee satisfaction, work-life balance, and overall morale have noticeably declined over time. While financial performance appears strong, leadership seems more focused on satisfying investors and the board than addressing workplace culture and employee well-being.

Pros

Interesting work, large impacts on getting the right ppl in the org. Decent compensation and benefits

Cons

Terrible communications from leadership, no direction on strategy or to employees about changes. Suspect reasons for selling off transmission assets and then requesting state approval to increase rates. Understaffed resource in most areas of the company except for having lots of leadership that are overly compensated.
