Pros

Thank goodness for the dedicated front-line staff who care about keeping the lights on. They understand the company's mission.

Cons

Spent many great years at ATC, and took pride in operating, maintaining and building a reliable transmission grid for all the homes and businesses that counted on it. In recent years, ATC executive leadership got swept up in every HR trend, and that's when things began to devolve. There was a very unhealthy priority placed on maintaining the Great Place to Work designation. Excessive use of external consultants. Countless corporate initiatives that created more busy work than any tangible results. Leadership lost sight of the company's core mission, struggled with the budget and reduced staffing. Plenty of others left on their own, in frustration and because of poor leadership and lack of opportunities.

Pros

Decent benefits and pay. Pretty good time off benefits and sick time. Flexible work schedule and hybrid/remote work available. Everyone is very professional and willing to help each other reach a goal for the betterment of the company. Many employee/office gatherings/lunches to bring people together even while most work hybrid/remote. Clean and nice facilities at all four offices. The company is rapidly expanding and seeing substantial growth over the next ten years

Cons

It’s a regulated utility. Health care premiums are higher, as well as out-of-pocket maxes. A lot of people are overloaded with work due to the substantial growth. The company has hired a lot of new employees to help with this, but there isn’t very good onboarding training for the company processes. Many processes are in a state of flux and continue to change because of the rapid growth. This can cause confusion for new employees.
