Pros

Good benefits and PTO package.

Cons

Slow to change. You are expected to give a life commitment before they promote you or give you a raise. Management has very little power to do anything for you other than punish you. You never get fired, not even for ignoring your work altogether.

Pros

The pay and benefits are satisfactory to a point.

Cons

Getting a much-deserved promotion is almost impossible. If you have a manager who is not willing to spend the time to get through all the red tape of a business case, then you don't stand a chance of getting a promotion. How can Xcel be an employer of choice if going above and beyond time after time gets you nowhere.
