You May work for very stupid people here

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The employees become like boot camp brothers but we are not allowed to form a union to fix the systemic issues.

Cons

I was condescended to, not listened to and my questions over archaic systems put me in opposition to a leadership too stupid to understand. As a regulated monopoly their is and never will be an incentive to change. Very frustrating to be intelligent, curious, capable and still ignored.

Used to be great

Customer service representative

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Pay, benefits, coworkers, culture and safety.

Cons

The call center used to be a great place to start with the company. Lots of folks retired and instead of promoting from within they hired new senior level management from banks and call centers. Instead of keeping with the values of customer service it’s now become all about the numbers. They will ride you hard and then throw you out with the trash.

Excruciatingly slow pace

It systems analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Solid cash flow and stability, as it should be as a public utility.

Cons

Excruciatingly slow pace, even for the low hanging fruit. Legacy managers have long shed their technical skills, and they now operate mostly as paper-pushing administrators who lack urgency or the need to feel they’re contributing.
