Pros

Very corrupt environment I was never happy her and they only care about the money they make not the people

Cons

It’s very corrupt , cut throat they don’t care about your personal life or if you sick. They treat employees like garbage and most people walk around with their shoulders slumped and head to the floor . I didn’t understand why they looked so miserable when I started , but learned quickly why .

Pros

It is located in downtown

Cons

Once ___ took over and focused his efforts on increasing Xcel's stock price Xcel's culture and opportunities disappeared. And no, the majority of Xcel's employees do not receive stock...but Senior Leadership does. Xcel has gone from being an inclusive great place to a cut throat political environment where advancement is not much of an option (this is due to several factors, when someone gets fed up and leaves their position is not replaced, for the most part older Management has already slotted specific individuals to take over for any Management openings, and whatever position is retained after someone does leave isn't hired on merit, but stabing in the back politics). Salaries have not increased at a correlating rate with the culture free fall and the bonus pool is not what it once was.
