Pros

The work environment is typically relaxed and the workload is manageable. There are a lot of opportunities, but they're all dependent on your personal drive and initiative and nothing is given easily.

Cons

The local management (past leads) is uninvolved in the day to day issues and overworked. The executives are not very concerned or knowledgeable about what the staff here actually do in the US power market. The pay/benefits combination is generally low compared to local competition, but the work/life balance is more family friendly (usually). Employee professional development takes a back seat to earning fees, so any formal training or attendance at industry conferences is generally unheard of.
