Vantaggi
Management is very focused on safety of its employees and emphasizing that consistently. I enjoy the work I do and I think it is meaningful. My direct line supervisor and VP are effective and seem to be good people that want to do the right thing. Salary is good, above average for the area. Great retirement contributions. Other benefits are OK, average or below average of what you would expect for Fortune 500.
Svantaggi
The company lacks diversity in all management positions, with critical issues in the C suite, VP and director levels of both corporate and utilities. Practically devoid of minorities in leadership roles, this is the case across all upper level, and middle level management of both the corporate and utilities entities. Management clearly does not reflect either its customer base or their own workers demographics. I have been ghosted by recruiters both as an external candidate AND internal candidate (more than once in both situations). You expect the former, but the latter is severely problematic and speaks volumes. I want to believe it is individuals and not culture but nothing has told me that is the case. Recruiting process severely lacks professionalism. "If you don't enjoy what you do, then leave" is a common refrain which lacks introspection given management doesn't do much to help employees enjoy the work they do. Outside of the linemen (which deserve a lot of appreciation) appreciation for the work we do is minimal or completely absent. You will spend more time explaining minor or irrelevant mistakes to yelling managers than you will being appreciated for the work you do. A morale killing attitude, with innovation killing consequences.
