Pros

Lots of room to grow. Utility industry is very stable. Could easily make a 30 yr career in this field. Company truly seems to care about employees, safety and community. Excellent compensation.

Cons

Company seems to be highly risk averse. They have trouble imagining non-traditional degrees in certain roles. i.e., most managers are engineers and if you don't have an engineering degree you may never get promoted It also felt like a lot of promotions were based more on who you knew and not so much on what you knew or what you had to offer.
