Pros

Good pay, excellent benefits, low cost and excellent health insurance. Company upper management is excellent and constantly reminds employees at all levels of responsibility to the customer.

Cons

Management seems determined to drive the company toward expensive and unreliable renewable electricity, They use government incentives to keep cost down, but don't seem to have a plan for the long term.

Pros

If you are in the Union, the pay is descent, Have 401k plan & health plan now is an HSA plan..Public Service was a great company to work for

Cons

Management mid level & up are horrible. No one backs their employees & you will never see any recognition. It's all about the very large bonuses they get yearly after they have already gotten their by-monthly pay shacks. Working for Xcel Energy is turning into a night mare.
