It Used to Be Great

Pros

Blue Collar Positions at Utility Companies Tend to Pay Above Average. Pacificorp pays their below the industry average, but it certainly beats minimum wage. If you want to get your foot in the utility door, this might be a good place, briefly.

Cons

At the expensive rate Pacific charges for power they are likely to lose significant numbers of customers to solar and power walls. This has been discussed in high level meetings. Be prepared for cuts in wage/salary and cuts in benefits every year. As knowledgeable and skilled people retire and relocate to better paying companies the dregs are left behind. They aren't necessarily very much fun to work for or with. High Employee Turnover Strict Work Environment (pretty much everything is a firing offense)

Pros

Many talented employees that are great to work with; matured processes and business practices; interesting types of projects; and challenging work.

Cons

Company officers do not seem to care about employees, customers, or maintaining assets. Pay is low compared with industry, and severely low for certain markets (i.e. Portland, OR). Benefits are not great and continue to decline each year. Company has stopped investing in employee development and industry participation.
