Pros

Free Lunch on my BMO card and Free PTO if you do well taking on-call work.

Cons

Very Top heaven in upper management. Sr VP, VP, SR Director, Director x 5, SR managers, Manager, Sr Tech, … then micro management is passed up. Awful culture and want to look for a new opportunity. Plus Xcel has a “Run to Fail” maintenance strategy and has me worried about its future.

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.
