Pros

Idaho Power pays very well, has good benefits - including a pension, and is a good company to work for. Lisa Grow cares about the company and the employees and is continuously working to make Idaho Power better for customers and employees.

Cons

Like any big company, local or departmental leadership is the driving force of the teams attitude and work life balance. This can be different across the company depending on leadership/team. Unless you work in Boise area, there are not a lot of room for advancement, as the skill level is very specialized in regional areas.

Business Outlook

Pros

The company is pretty nice if you can escape the customer service center.

Cons

This company is a little odd, the leadership in Customer Service is very punitive, and most are looking to get promoted out, but that is very difficult to do. Leadership in Customer Service are just mean, and rumors and backbiting prevalent.

There are so many long-term employees, many married couples, many extended family members, and they are the only ones who get promotions. Very much a who you know environment.
