Pros
The mission of co-ops is noble, co-op staffs around the state are great to work with, lineman training school excellent, workforce development offerings plentiful, engineering team, CEO are experts and professional, statewide service teams outside safety are toxic environments leadership refuses to address
Cons
-leaders don’t address favoritism, creates monster employees, narcissistic bullies, who exclude, target new, good people who don’t submit to them and management/HR turn blind eye to it all; causes revolving door; loss of good employees
-middle managers not supported
-resistant to change needed for future success
-not one diversity hire in the place; no black employees is very odd
-lots of wolves in sheep’s clothing and HR doesn’t protect the lambs
-unwritten policies you’re supposed to follow
-male dominant organization, particularly in leadership, female employees disproportionately terminated
