Pros

If you can deal with the bs and find your niche, there is plenty of job security because PacifiCorp is grossly understaffed and has horrible retention. Pay is decent and it seems like it's relatively easy to get promoted. Some coworkers seem to have been promoted simply because others found a new job and they were all that was left, not necessarily because of ability or seniority. There are a lot of good people and they're generally super helpful, as long as they can spare the time.

Cons

PacifiCorp doesn't seem to recognize that their number one most valuable asset is their people. They keep jerking people around, like messing with their pension (old timers only who mostly all went ahead and retired before the change happened) or promising work from home then reneging. Retention is crazy bad and therefore everyone is crazy overloaded. Moral is horrible... Document control is also horrible at best. Most everything is ran off of Excel spreadsheets that some individual who is no longer with the company made twenty years ago. Training is maybe a coworker showing you how, if you're lucky, but most people get hired because someone left and therefore the knowledge they had is now gone, so good luck. Very few procedures to show you how things are supposed to be done. Expect to work well over 40 hours per week yet get nothing in return for your efforts. Budget is super tight due to all of the lawsuits over wildfires so don't expect much in the way of annual raise or bonus. About the only way to get a decent raise seems to be the aforementioned promotion due to someone else leaving. Wish I'd have thought to look up this company on Glassdoor before joining...
