Pros

PMO Director is a no-nonsense, get stuff done kind of person. I very much enjoyed working for her, and learned a great deal about project management and tools. Working from home was nice, and Centuri was quite flexible with time off and understanding that everyone has personal lives and need to run the occasional errand during work hours.

Cons

Several mediocre employees are kept on or fail upward*. Lenovo ThinkPads are the only laptops available. I didn't feel like I could be myself.** The most political place I've ever worked.*** *At one point a peer, who lacked basic skills, was promoted to be boss of like, 13 people. When folks threatened to quit, leadership hired another layer of management to act as a buffer. When that wasn't enough for people, they just moved the employees to a different team. **A boss told me my use of "lemme" or "kinda" in written form was inappropriate. I selected a default background on Teams that looks like outer space and was asked to change it to something neutral. Once after a Teams call with a couple of female coworkers, I was reminded that even working from home I needed to follow the dress code (I wore a conservatively cut tank top). ***I would need to have decks and emails pre-approved for the most mundane topics. I was asked to change the placement of someone's address in an email, I was asked to lie by omission to give another team enough time to cause failure on a project. Senior leaders were constantly complaining about one another.

Pros

I honestly can't think of any.

Cons

I worked in a corporate role at Centuri and honestly the biggest issue was leadership and culture. There was no focus on efficiency or improving processes. Work was often made harder than it needed to be because management resisted change and did not seem interested in modernizing how things were done. It felt like people spent more time working around broken systems than actually fixing them. Management also lacked basic leadership skills. I never had a goal setting meeting, performance evaluation, or meaningful coaching conversation the entire time I was there. There was very little investment in employee development or career growth. The environment became draining because negativity came from the top down. There was constant complaining about employees, other departments, workloads, and leadership decisions, but very little accountability or action to improve anything. Culture clearly was not a priority. The experience itself helped me build resilience, but I would not recommend the company to someone looking for strong leadership, mentorship, or organization.
