Great benefits and company culture - Senior Project Manager NW Natural Employee Review

The culture of caring is legit. Employees are encouraged to support community organizations and one another.

It is challenging to work in energy in the pacific northwest.

Overall company culture is a good one. Long-time employment is a staple of the organization when a company has been around as long as Oregon has been a state! It's not unusual for folks to be there 10, 20, 30+ years. Co-workers were great to work with, and there are some managers who are really terrific!

Sadly, there is a prevalent bad practice of promoting folks into management roles without really giving them any management training. The sole reason they're promoted is seemingly because of which Sr Manager/Director they're friendly with and/or how long they've been working for the company. Lots of favortism! There are people in those upper positions who have no business managing people. Then there is shock & surprise when long-tenured employees express burnout or make the difficult decision to leave the company.
