CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Better work life balance than some other investor owned utilities. Average benefits. There are some good managers, but budget constraints are a major factor.

Cons

Financial missteps have led to fewer and fewer employees having to take on more and more work to keep things moving, with a lot of uncertainty about the company's future. Very little communication from upper management about what is causing continued financial constraints, or how long employees will be required to sacrifice. Some truly paltry managers who face zero repercussions for their substandard performances. Low opportunities for growth unless you are willing to put more of your effort into building interdepartmental relationships, than into performing your assigned work.
