Pros

- Many opportunities to move internally - Learning and development opportunities - Decent benefits

Cons

- Little opportunity to advance by title or pay-grade - No meritocracy – you can work twice as hard as your peers but rewards for doing so are negligible at best

Pros

Place didn't get better till our union negotiated our own health insurance through the FMCP plan. We are completely separate from the companies insurance, which is unheard of.

Cons

Good old boy Texas Panhandle mentality. If your not one of the boys you will never have any other opportunity to do anything than what you are doing. Management doesn't care about experience if there buddy is interested in the job. There is a bunch of uneducated hillbillys running this place. They scratch they're heads wondering why there has been such a mass exodus in employees. Stay away from here, all promotions are political, your hard work means nothing if you expect it to one day.

Pros

nothing i can think of

Cons

After nearly 30 years on the phones in almost every field there is i worked for Xcel the past three years. Xcel was the worst company i have ever worked for. I was fired due to documented medical condition both ADA and FMLA. Xcel refused to follow multiple doctors orders. The management was dismissive when issues were brought to their attention. They went as far as to state they did not think the doctors orders were right so they do not have to follow it. They did not acknowledge or implement multiple requests for accommodations and drug it on for months trying to claim i was not providing enough proof i had a disability after my doctor completely answered their selected and requested questions. multiple people conspired to create a hostile work environment. I was blamed for team failures tied directly to my disability and the accommodations they refused to implement. I do not recommend working here i am sharing my personal experiences and opinion. You do not stand on your own merit they have multiple people select what calls they will listen to and then compare you to others even if you are brand new you are compared and judged to people who are there for years. this ranking system directly effects your schedule and pay.
