Pros
The company is earnestly attempting to do some good things in the energy sector and find creative solutions for being a huge monopoly in an industry that is quickly being taken over by small or individual power producers. Certain (few) departments and units are invested in their workforce and creating a positive culture. Benefits are good for the most part, including a pension that vests after 3 years of service.
Cons
Executive leadership (for the most part) doesn't care about the effects of negative culture on "individual contributors" or personal quality of life. They have no problem running employees into the ground and then berating them for not working hard or smart enough, when they should be hiring sufficient staff for each team and training everyone appropriately. Anyone who questions authority or executive choices is pushed out. There is no opportunity for advancement in certain departments, and when there is those jobs almost always go to employees who are favorites of upper management. Pay is not terrible but by no means competitive. Don't work here if you want to be treated like you matter.

Pros
Great pay and benefits, lots of opportunities for career advancement, ethical company with a lot to offer. Lots of transformational initiatives going on so there are plenty of opportunities for meaningful work and learning opportunities. The company cares about the community and also offers 40 hours a year of Volunteer Paid Time Off. There is no other company I would rather work for.
Cons
Most corporate jobs are downtown in CO and MN so there is a downtown commute. No place is perfect and there are always challenges but no more than any other large company. Nothing significant to mention here.
