Great People, Exciting Work, Onboarding Could Be Smoother
Pros
Fantastic, welcoming people throughout the department Exciting work that contributes to Xcel's goal of going carbon free Good new employee orientation Clear that they are interested in continuing to invest in me Clear that they have high expectation Lots of communication with manager and other teams
Cons
Very little onboarding as far as basic administrative details (submitting time sheets, who to ask for supplies, how to get required equipment, even how to properly acquire and operate workstation equipment). As a result, new hires spend a lot of time on figuring these things out instead of focusing on getting up to speed on their new work. Also, it would be good if PTO was contingent at least somewhat on the individiual's career experience, not just their tenure with the company.
