Tri-State Generation and Transmission reviews

Corporate management extremely out of touch with the realities of operation. Local facility management runs much of the company into the ground. Many supervisors operate "petty tyrannies" and an extremely hostile workplace and environment of fear exists as a result of corporate paralysis in dealing with problematic managers. Planners have done an exceptionally poor job and suffer little to no recourse as a result. The facilities have reactionary management and very seldom take a proactive approach to a problem. Roughly 3/4 of all equipment will fail before it's fixed, costing the company millions. Oh and the coffee, seriously terrible stuff. Bring your own coffee.

Too many board members lends itself to a lack of corporate leadership. Zero performance incentives. Little to no opportunity for career advancement within the company. A lot of engineer types (with no people skills) are in management positions. When I first arrive in 2006, there where lots of groups that operated like an island with little collaboration with other groups. I witnessed some improvement in communication and information sharing but more could be done.
