Pros
I love everything about this company: The Culture, People, Job. It helps that I have only worked for fast-paced, revenue growth companies my entire career prior to PSE... It’s nice to work for a company that is truely customer and community focused. That is really hard to come by these days.... I compliment PSE for their Cloud initiative. I feel like I am a part of something special... Being able to travel to industry...

Too many projects in-flight.. Sometimes I feel like I spread myself thin.
Advice to Management
Take a step back and evaluate where you collectively envision PSE 10 years from now. Then decide what you want to do today.

Pros
PSE is a great place to start your career. There are many departments to move around to depending on the level of challenge you are looking for. There are some really great supervisors & managers that look out for your development (and some not so great). Also, PSE employs many industry leaders, and if you can find and connect with them, they can really jump start your career. If you’re not looking for career growth,...

Despite many great years at PSE, I experienced serious misconduct and grooming by a superior near the end of my career. My sex, age, and limited access to upper management made me a vulnerable target. Increasing severity of misconduct and efforts of predatory conditioning pushed me to a point at which I did not feel safe in the workplace. Evidence of misconduct was provided to HR, a cease and desist was issued. HR failed...

Stay connected with each and every employee under your supervision. Ensure team dynamics do not put your vulnerable employees at risk to misconduct in the workplace.

"Management clownshow"
StarStarStarStarStarNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI worked at Puget Sound Energy full-time for more than 8 years
Pros
Great people - Smart and kind. Great healthcare benefits. Ability to work in different parts of the company.
Cons
Management has no vision, and is technically inept . There is no business strategy and future growth will suffer. Tactical decisions are made without understanding the full downstream impact on business segments and those responsible for implementation. Zero ability to move up in career development.
Advice to Management
Put professionals in management roles. These people should understand the markets and risks they are tasked with. Speak to your employees like they are professionals, not 6th graders. Figure out a coherent business strategy, and implement it. Quit worrying so much about how you are viewed externally and make some solid business decisions based on profit and loss.
