      Pros

      Good benefits and plenty of job opportunities across the company

      Volatile working conditions within the trading group with new management learning curves and change management hurdles, which are not aligned with the core conservative values of the company.

      Pros

      High-deductible medical, dental, pension (for now), 401K, HSA, on-site gym, transit/parking stipend. Quarterly reviews. Steady, high volume of work.

      Cons

      Xcel pays less than the private sector. Annual bonuses are not guaranteed. Training funds and O&M seems to magically disappear within 6 months of the start of the new fiscal year. Human resources is for the company, not the employee. Not a great place if you are looking for diversity in the type/kind of work, geography, or advancement within a group -- be prepared to be pigeon-holed. If you want certain management/director roles, you have to take a "personality" - psyche test to be considered for the position.
