Pros

Large stable utility company with little turnover. Generally competitive in salaries and good benefits. People are generally fairly decent, ethical.

Cons

Very political, senior leaders gave the pretense of cooperation, but were generally unwilling to work together. Company was trying to change that. Very bureaucratic organization, difficult to get anything new done without extensive meetings, review, overview.

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.
