Too many leaders and too much shuffle. Many outdated software systems that do not sync properly and are not supported by vendors anymore. Bonus, raise, and incentive programs work against the employees; could have a great past year, but if the 1st quarter of the next year is slow on earnings they will cut the past years incentives; a great review = average incentives, ratings, and low raises if any. Healthcare is next to nothing, with the mega-high deducibles. Advancement opportunities are few and far between. Much like working for a stereotypical government function without the benefits and incentives. Might as well work as an independant contractor/ consultant for more money as the benifits are so low and incentives are unpredictable even with a good year of earnings. Work-life balance is nonexistent........plan on bringing your laptop home every night, weekend, vacations, and holidays......they won't support an increase in employee headcount because it is difficult for them to justify an increase in O&M cost to the regulatory committees (even thought the infrastructure of the business is growing exponentially).
