Pros

Great way to learn about the company as a whole as well as much needed experience. Great culture to work for where the employees happiness is always at the top of the mission. Great customer service.

Cons

Salary Structure is the only downside, can easily max out on the technical side.

Steady work but requires lots of education

Pros

You can rely on a steady job, power company is not going anywhere so chances of layoffs due to restructuring are minimal.

Cons

They are HEAVY on degrees. To be a team lead, you require a Masters Degree. Compared to many other companies, this is not required. If you want to pursue higher level positions, you need to be prepared to fork out some bucks for school. It is VERY hard to move around within the company. You need to be a relative or a "good ol' boy" to get anywhere. Saw many people leave because of this - including myself. Got the same salary, with less education somewhere else. More education DOES NOT mean you are better at your job!

Pros

SRP (Salt River Project) is the people's company. It was formed in the early 1900's as a necessity. Someone had to manage the flow of water into the Phoenix area, as well as the hydro-electric power generated by their series of dams on the Salt and Verde rivers. SRP employees are their customers, and vice versa. This is a GREAT place to work. Annual raises are determined by MBO (Management by Objective). Employees are not subject to the whims of CEOs or sole proprietors. I'm sorry I left. It's a tough world for the self-employed.

Cons

Because raises or promotions are determined once per year at SRP, the notion of constantly pleasing "the boss" is moot. All the butt kissing in the world won't make a bit of difference during the other 11 months. Therefore, it is real easy to get "fat and satisfied" in your job. Because SRP is a not-for-profit public utility and a federal sub-division, they have tons of money. Therefore, it's easy to get spoiled with huge equipment and operations budgets. Maybe not a "Con", but certainly fuel for waste and apathy.
