Merchant Transmission Developer - Recensione dipendente - Vice President presso Utility Risk Management

URMC offers unique experience that few other firms could provide. Being an industry leader in the energy sector gives both a detailed view and a big-picture outlook of the world that is second-to-none. In my time at URMC I feel that I have gained a level of experience commensurate with peers that have spent a decade at their respective firms. And best of all, the work being done can be directly associated with improvements in the reliability, safety, and performance of the nation's electric grid.

The changing landscape of the company has no doubt contributed to it being a bumpy ride over the past few years, but presently there is real traction and a positive outlook on the future.

Company - Over several years at URMC the work has constantly been exciting and challenging as well as being unique. The technology URMC applies has developed significantly through both the industry's and URMC's advances. The applications of this technology and business strategies at URMC have constantly evolved due to changes in regulations and opportunities in the energy market. Being able to understand these changes and discover different and unique market opportunities is what has made URMC successful in the past and will continue to give URMC success in the future. Compensation & Benefits - Salaries have and continue to be fair and competitive at all levels. The benefit package provided to all employees is very comprehensive and shows a concern and understanding to life outside of work. The Culture and Work/Life Balance at URMC has been one of my favorite aspects. URMC has developed a culture that is easy and fun to work in while still allowing employees to be efficient contributors. The Work/Life Balance has allowed many employees to pursue outside interests to their full extent.

As referenced in the Pros section, URMC's applications and business strategies have evolved throughout its existence. While this has created many successful business opportunities for the company, it has also caused the company to grow and shrink in employee size (sometimes rapidly) to meet demands. In the past, this has caused employees to be let go for non-performance related reasons and has caused added stress to management on all levels. Unpredictable growth and shrinkage has caused employees to have doubts on job security. Senior management understood this concern and would take into consideration during business decisions. Several of the employees hired to the sales team did not meet their expectations.
