Alliant Energy – “Let's have a meeting to discuss this...”

Pros

There are numerous opportunities for advancement. Benefits would seem to be hard to beat. I live in rural area and have an opportunity to work in my community. Numerous departments to choose from for opportunities so it never gets dull. Most people in the organization are very good to assist you with questions you might have (and you'll have many if you don't have utility experience).

Cons

expected to be on call 24/7...never an opportunity to "leave your work at work" when you're off. Like many places people who have moved into management positions seem to be the brown-nosers, not necessarily the deserving ones. Don't take that wrong...I'm not one who wants to move into one of these positions...I just want to do my job.
