Pros

When it was remote, great training, good pay, union benefits. Fast up training as long as you meet your numbers. Good direct management communication. Fast teams response when needed on calls

Cons

Return to office enforced, non stop calls with strict KPI. Overtime hours everyday. Working overtime tied to performance. On call is worked for regular calls and not just storm outages

Decent benefits but fairly standard industry wide.

Most interesting work is contracted out to engineering firms. Company prioritizes HR mandated quotas over tenure and experience.
