Pros
I made the pivot from tech to energy at Grant PUD and I'm glad I made the transition. My experience thus far:
- Very people-centered
- Strong company fundamentals
- Healthy growth projections the next several years
- AI-resistant. Energy demand is growing and many jobs require physical presence.
- Coworkers are friendly and down-to-earth
- Managers are good listeners and give excellent feedback
- Some roles offer hybrid work options such as 2 days remote, 2 days in office. 5x8 or 4x10 shifts.
- Generous pay + benefits, even more so compared against cost-of-living in this area.
Cons
If you love big cities, living in Grant County is a significant shift. But there are some incredible pros that come with the area, such as extremely affordable housing + cost of living.
