Pros

They believe in personal development at all levels. They have their share of politics like every other company but they do care about the employees more than any other company I've worked for. The work experience depends on a persons manager, but for the most part it's a great company to work for. It was a very positive experience for me and I had a lot of opportunities given to me.

Cons

Not many cons for me. It really depends on your manager but it's actually a progressive company with well thought out business processes.

Pros

This is the only Electrical Utility in the State of Idaho. The Company pays decent salary and provide pretty good benefits package, including pension plan. Family-like atmosphere. This is NOT a Union shop, so no class warfair between Administration/Management and lower level employees. It is possible to get a promotion if you really want it. Very competitive - everybody is proud to be a member of a team, so for the most part everything is done fast. The Company provides GREAT training.

Cons

Hardly any, but the benefits could be a bit more competitive as compared to the leaders of the Industry, that have Union run operation (though IMO - unions promote mediocrity, class warfair and stagnation)
