Pros

Committed to hiring veterans; does some very respectable things in the community; the role that the company plays as a part of critical infrastructure is paramount

Cons

New Customer & Innovation group is a joke - disjointed, trying to turn the company into more of a technology company than a utility; getting anything done is like pulling teeth; too much internal politics; a lot of back stabbing and passive aggressive behaviors; culture and values are not lived.

Pros

Work-life balance, okay benefits, and cemented impact on the community

Cons

Because the company has a bottom line, promotional paths aren't really a thing beyond individual contributor to manager. I don't know what the next level up would be besides that.
