Pros

Pay is decent, if you are of male gender.

Cons

Untrained management and poor executive leadership who love to sweep things under the rug. (Wildfires, faulty equipment, aged infrastructure, overworked personnel sleepy at the wheel) Xcel Energy = a revolving door swung open by means of intimidation, bullying and harassment for anyone who attempts to enhance a process or reports unethical behavior is punished.
