Pros

Idaho Power is a great, solid company, and a stable place to work.

Cons

Very tough to advance. Direct managers seem to be poor at communicating. Projects don't necessarily consider all the important stakeholders, or end-user's needs.

Stay in touch with the troops and don't give them the feeling that they aren't worthy of you.

Pros

Considering the state of Idaho, Idaho Power is one of the best employers with great benefits. They touch most of southern Idaho so there are a number of locations to work at. The have several sides - electricity supply and generation so there are a number of areas to either start in and/or move to. Has the feel of a large family work environment.

Cons

Many of the positions are internal and you work in a cubicle. Good pay for Idaho, but not a lot of upside potential. Like anywhere, there are a few supervisors that don't know as much as they should about what their employees really do and challenges they really face. A lot of advancements based on who you know and who you hang with.

Business Outlook

Pros

The company has great benefits and the people are great to work with.

Cons

The company is unfriendly to the environment, killing salmon to generate power. The company is extremely bureaucratic and slow to do anything. It is as bad as working for a governmental agency. The company has far too many employees who are just waiting to retire and are not doing any work.
