      Pros

      Not much!! Salary is good, but that is because you have to deal with working at one of the worst run companies on the planet.

      Cons

      Could be a full time job listing the negatives. This is one of the most unethical and beguiling companies i have had the misfortune to work for. Management, including the executives are terrible at their jobs, unless you count mismanagement as a prime responsibility, e.g. $100+M wasted on nuclear. Let's just say there is a reason why Xcel is one of the worst utilities for nuclear culture and operations, in the nuclear industry.

      Pros

      Decent pay and good training department aside the other flaws. Good team leaders and good coworkers.

      Cons

      Micro management, contradicting or uncontrollable performance metrics. Progressive discipline that's almost impossible to get off of once on. Promotions based on arbitrary goals.
