Pros

Improved vision over the last 3 years. New CEO is bringing private sector approach and accountability to this public sector utility.

Cons

IT teams have too many riders and not enough leaders. This expense is hurting ability to execute, but CPSE lacks to political will to do what is necessary to deal with the problem. As a muni, CPSE is still driven too much by city politics rather than what is best for customers and a PC culture that doesn't always reward merit and protects non-performers.

Pros

Great for learning how to work in an office setting. Site visits were really cool. Intern events were fun. Worked on projects with the communication engineering team that genuinely helped them.

Cons

The communication engineering department is a little understaffed, they need a few more engineers.

Pros

Decent Government style benefits, on site cafeteria, volunteer events

Cons

I hate to say it, but the organization is going downhill. Employee morale is low in many departments. Working from home opportunities are becoming rare pushing talent elsewhere. Benefits are getting worse by the year. Leaders are micromanaging and the pressure is starting from the top. This is the first time I’ve considered leaving the organization since I’ve been here about few years. I really thought I wanted to retire here, but they are no longer investing in employee well being. They are simply worried about how the view is.
