Pros

The people and middle management are great to work with, and there's purpose in the work we do.

Cons

Diminishing culture, mandatory return to work for office staff, huge workloads, reduced bonuses and raises every year for several years, slow upward mobility, storm duty required after nearly 10 years of working there which consists of being on-call every 3 weeks (24 hour shift on day 1, 8 hours rest, and then 16 hour shifts until storm closes). Storm duty is required without regard to home life, medical issues, childcare needs, etc., you have to use your personal vehicle and damage is not covered by the company, and we're put in very unsafe situations even if we're an office employee with no experience working with the electrical equipment.

Pros

As much as this company allows you to learn, use this opportunity for experience and for your resume so you can move on to better things.

Cons

Lots of micromanaging and also unfairness. Overwhlemed with work and training and bosses believe we got the time for all of it. They give certain people, usually the new employees, do more than their job title asked for because they don't trust them or because they take advantage. Older employees don't need to do such training because they are relatives. Severely underpaid and management believes getting a promotion with little pay and more overtime makes up for your title. Management believes they are better than you and don't like being at fault and give the most outlandish excuse for any problems that arise.
