Pros

The people are, by and large, very good to work with. Management allowed employees enough authority to do their jobs without being a hinderance.

Cons

The benefits are definitely not great. Also, even though it is a public utility it is not immune to the economic down turn, since the closure of the Janesville GM plant and ancillary support companies has had a major negative impact.

Advice to Senior Management

To recruit and retain great employees requires that they stay abreast of job descriptions and salaries. Managers should be able to do the work of their staff if the need arises, not just manage people. Having a manager who does not understand what their staff does and why is not particularly beneficial and can cause road blocks.
