Pros

I can't think of any great reasons to work here really. The benefits are good compared to other industries, and average at best compared to other utilities.

Cons

1. Pervasive negative attitude in the workplace since WEC Acquisition. 2. Health benefits suck. 3. Managers are afraid to talk to other managers or parts of the company - closed door policy in many cases. The best way to describe it is that in some companies you can approach a member of executive staff or talk to other members of management. Here that is considered very taboo; everyone minds their own business, stays in their own little world, and if you don't like something you are expected to simply accept it. 4. The company is 'cheap' to its employees. 5. Salaries are average at best. 6. Overqualified employees including management are used to call customers on a weekly basis and hit quotas to ensure satisfaction.

Pros

Pay is usually good at market rates

Cons

This company fell victim to the corporate M&A by being consumed by We Energies, the piece of crap company out of Milwaukee. They were sold out to We Energies, and since then, have been all down hill. Leadership is by fear. Employees do not exist in the new world. Look around customers-they turned a great company into a company of no community involvement, poor storm response, and poor employee morale. They now have 4 day storm restorations, no local leadership, no employee involvement in your communities, and you wonder how good they are. Stay clear. The We Energies way, you are an at will employee, and can be terminated at any time, and they let you know it daily, with every document they print. There are a lot of better companies to work for. Invest in these guys because they pay good dividends. Don't send your sons or daughters to go work for them.

Pros

Nice benefits package, good pay for cost of living in area, never no work to do if you are motivated and interested in this field

Cons

A lot of uncertainty with recent acquisition (July 2015) at the time of this review It seems the new company is more about profit and less about its employees, but that could change as well once the dust settles
