Pros

No Pros at all. None.

Cons

Company promised permanent Hybrid with one day (at discretion of management) in the office, the rest remote. That became come in if/when there is a business purpose to come in. Also stated "remote" meant anywhere in a state where Xcel does business. People changed their lives around this policy, with child care, moving away from the urban cores, etc. Then Xcel yanked it all back. Seems like the intent is to drive people away to save O&M. Given that remote work was internally rated as the most desired aspect of the job by those who could take advantage of it, this is seriously eroding trust.

Pros

Standard methods, cloud infrastructure, and reliance on in house staff over contractors makes it very easy to implement safe, fast, consistent changes. You will be valued as a human and you will have a voice within this company. You can make a career here. Your coworkers and immediate leadership are all talented and intelligent individuals who actually know how to do the same work you are doing.

Cons

AI rollout and unevenly applied hybrid work made things difficult for employees with disabilities and those that lived far from office who had traditionally worked remote or for tasks that do not lend themselves well to AI overhead
