*constant reorganization
*forced to apply and re-interview for my position

Cons

Promotes within based on "who you know".

Cons

Senior leadership is changing things so fast that we can't keep up.

Cons

Upper management is a real problem. They constantly change direction, and don't have any answers for upcoming challenges that will face the utility industry. They seem more intent to add to their own bank account than develop employees. Completely inauthentic, they market themselves as caring about their community, and then they move IT jobs down to Washington DC, all this after record setting earnings. If you join this company, be prepared to have to interview for a job again during a reorganization, which seem to happen every six months. Should you receive a promotion into a leadership role, you will be attend ample training in leadership principles, but if you really pay attention, you'll notice none of these evident amongst the leaders above you. The leadership ranks are full of people who simply can't execute. They have created a toxic environment that's racked with the stress of saying the wrong thing in front of the wrong person.

Cons

High stress, lots of turnover in positions

Cons

High turnover, lack of training for new hires and not a team environment. Not the same as it used to be years ago when folks worked here for decades. Lower level managers don't welcome new hires and are hands off with little to no training. There is constant criticism and little chance for success in your position if mgmt doesn't like you. I've seen people come and go since I've started who have been here less than a year. Disappointed with the way high turnover is ignored. Lack of staff and replacement of those who leave means more work for everyone else. Emergency storm roles change constantly and there was very little info on those roles during the hiring process. Company reputation is not what it used to be.
