Pros

Pay was at or above market.

Cons

Immature and hostile climate and culture. Fear based micromanagement made it difficult to get meaningful work done unless it was a last minute push. HR/ office manager had serious issues that often came out as inappropriate touching hugging and comments towards other employees. CEO was very abusive and used fear and bullying to manage his people. Big mistakes were often overlooked and punishment was harsh for minor miscommunications. CEO is a very poor communicatior and would often humiliate or belittle people in front of customers or other employees.Toxic work environment all around with no work life balance. Well below market benefits. Work day was like living on a prison yard with comings and goings strictly monitored by hr manager who would record arrivals departures and breaks on a spread sheet for future use against employees.

Pros

I was skeptical at first because from the beginning I felt valued as an employee. I finally had great pay, awesome work life balance, a solid team, and a manager that can relate and looks to build employees for their next position. I’ve been with the company for a while now and nothing has changed. Still the best company I have ever worked for.

Cons

Now that I can think of, and I have thought about it a lot.

Pros

Great supporting staff of technicians, performance engineering, ROCC (this may surprise some former coworkers that I thought very highly of them lol), OT, and NERC Compliance.

Cons

Significant disconnect between C-Suite and Upper Management level employees and field staff, lack of transparency, did not follow through on performance review for 5% salary increase after 90 days, motto “We don’t want to be the biggest, we want to be the best” does not match action.
