Pros

Responses only relate to corporate headquarters, I don't have insight into working conditions for those in the field or call center. -Great pay, great benefits (including a defined benefit pension and pretty solid time-off accruals) -Excellent work/life balance -Pay is transparent, you can always know the pay range of your current role and your potential promotion chain -Very stable industry -The company has kept the lights on despite pretty insane customer growth in the Treasure Valley while also managing and implementing upcoming green energy requirements -The company supports internal transfers and job applications -Majority of people are kind and interested in sharing knowledge, and there's lots of very smart employees with deep institutional and industry knowledge -Most high profile promotions are made internally -Hybrid work environment (2 days remote, unless your week doesn't allow for it) -Casual dress code (unless your day doesn't allow for it) -One of few (maybe the only?) downtown employers with heavily discounted parking spots available and close by -Nice headquarters -Cubicles rather than an open workspace (positive to me, maybe negative to others) -Flexible core working hours (with approval from manager, may vary by team)

Cons

-Regulatory environment - This can make corporate changes slow and hinder "exploratory" budget to experiment with new applications, etc. -Swag - Since every dollar spent has to arguably benefit customers, there's no frivolous perks like free coffee, t-shirts for a job well done, etc., but the competitive pay more than offsets my own coffee and cheap t-shirt budget -You may have to wait for others to move or retire before you can move up the chain, so sometimes promotions can take a while (this is partially a pro, because it implies not that many people leave the company)

Pros

IPC has a great familial vibe if you are in the right department. Once hired there are plenty of options an available for growth and supported by leadership. Great pay and benefits compared to any companies I’ve ever worked for.

Cons

Work/ life balance is challenging in certain roles and some near impossible. Employees can get pigeon holed into a position they can’t get out of and while rare, it’s a big reason for turnover. Speaking of, IPC has a really low turnover rate due to promotions/transfers within the company.
