Pros

Distribution System Operations is a good place to be. If things need to change they can change. There are people willing to support. Turning the lights back on is satisfying. There is an honest focus on making sure customers are back as soon and safely as possible. Pay is good. They have a nice setup with DMS doing some of the switching for us. Bonus & get paid overtime.

Cons

THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH SYSTEM OPERATORS. They are not hiring fast enough to replace the people leaving. Change seems to take a long time. Business model seems to be heavily dependent on getting paid for capital improvement projects. This does not seem sustainable. Some of the supervisors are making it hard for some folks to stay. Doing admin for all of the things we do can get old. Overtime is 1.0x not 1.5x.
