Pros
Great City/Community Decent pay (though below market pay scale) Great coworkers who care about customers
Cons
Sadly, Ron Davis is no longer the General Manager and the replacement GM treats employees as a disposable commodity. Management Team does not value loyalty or employee dedication to their job. Expectations of employees by managers are to be “yes” workers and don’t ask questions and don’t think.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at Burbank Water and Power full-time for more than 3 years
Pros
- They have a great facility, including a gym that is available to all employees. - They offer 75% reimbursement on taking courses to improve. - They offer some self-improvement classes. - They are ahead in the utility sector compare to those in the area, so if you are able to learn the software, it will help you get a job elsewhere. - Offer a 9/80 schedule.
Cons
- Doesn't promote within, and if they do, it's pure politics. - No training program, they've had about 3 different employees with a title that says they are in charge of creating a training program, but they never create any curriculum or documents to train employees. - Employees who have been there longer are jaded, and no longer want to put effort. - Just like in most places, promotion is not on merit, its on who the managers like the best, regardless if they are qualified. - Input by those on the frontlines is largely ignored. - Those who want to make changes, are shutdown, due to most employees set on their ways. - Work from under-performing employees is stacked onto those who work fast, but with no repercussions for those that under-perform and no acknowledgement for those that work hard.

Pros
Innovative and customer focused. Takes pretty good care of employees making sure we have a good work life balance. Very open to educational and training opportunities for employees to better their career.
Cons
Short staffed, always feels like everyone, including myself is overworked. Pay is low (though steps are being taken to improve pay scale), not much room to advance up the career ladder. Management used to promote qualified employees from within the company, with new managers, they are more apt to hire from outside the company now. Morale is low and employees are moving on to other companies or retiring. Brain drain due to experienced employees leaving.
