Pros

Pay is decent if you can stay under 45hrs per week.

Cons

Too much focus on reducing overhead costs. Employees get stuck with more work than they can handle. Overtime PAY must be approved beforehand or you will just get regular pay no matter how many hours you work. Your manager will not request overtime pay because it looks bad on them. Therefore you will be left with 2 options. work many hours of unpaid overtime week after week or face disciplinary actions for the work not getting done.

Pros

Strong job stability in a regulated utility environment, along with competitive pay and solid benefits package. My immediate team is genuinely supportive and collaborative — we work well together and have each other's backs. The work itself offers a sense of purpose given the essential nature of the industry.

Cons

Upper management operates with limited transparency and decisions flow strictly top-down, with little visibility into the reasoning behind strategic choices. The compensation structure does not differentiate for high performers — annual raises tend to land at or below inflation. Work groups across the department are heavily siloed, which limits cross-functional collaboration and slows knowledge sharing and adds frustration.
