Business Outlook
Pros
Stable business, it's a corporate holding company for utility businesses, which are de facto monopolies in their geographic regions...this can also be a double-edged sword, however.
Cons
Since utility businesses are monopolies, it doesn't feel like top performers are really valued, because unlike in the open market/private sector, utility revenues are virtually guaranteed. This being the case, if you are an ambitious/go-getter/get things done kind of employee, that won't necessarily add up to significant career movement/advancement. You'll need to play politics, hard. I suppose that's typical of many large orgs, but in the utility/monopoly world, it's an enshrined institution.
