Pros

Xcel Energy offers good pay, and a good benefits package including tuition reimbursement. Located downtown Minneapolis on the bus (and train) line.

Cons

Its reorg after reorg. Too much money is spent on reorg and not enough energy on employee morale during that time. I had the same job for 2 years and 5 managers located in 2 states.

Pros

Nuclear is challenging but very structured if you like procedures rules etc Pay is relatively good compared to non nuclear but appears to be less than other utilities around the USA.

Cons

Work life balance suffers for some jobs (leadership, engineering,...) Not much for employee appreciation or recognition Human resources is slow to hire
