Great place to work - Senior Engineer Gulf Power Employee Review

Relatively low-stress work environment, good camaraderie, competitive pay, strong focus on safety, as well as employee development.

Work environment can be tough, during weather extremes. Work schedule can sometimes require unusual hours.

I've never worked with a better group of people; both co-workers and management. Everyone is honest, hard-working, and they help each other out. Work is moderately paced. Pay is currently good for the area. Flexible work hours and time off.

Benefits are terrible now that NextEra has purchased Gulf from Southern Co. 401k match is less than it was with Southern, no more 2 week parental leave for fathers, no more carrying over vacation (can carry 40 hours AFTER at least 80 hours are used, so for someone like me who only get's 80 hours, I can't carry over any vacation), less sick leave is given out (only 56 hours a year compared to Southern's 80 hours). Heath insurance deductible went from $750 (family) with Southern to $5,000 (family) with NextEra. There is no movement within the departments. So once you get a job, you're stuck with it.
