Pros

4 Day Work Week, nice people outside the project controls department.

Cons

Everything....the original manager over all the projects would speak in acronymn terms from the project management certification--that no one uses--she never had one time put on a pair of construction boots and worked in the field. She really was not qualified for the position. She was so aggressive and moody, in the time I worked there was a 90% turnover. Would personally attack employees in meetings and yell, was very embarrassing and unprofessional. She was very unappreciative of knowledge and experience and would speak over anyone in a meeting. Was a really rough place to work--glad I am long long gone, a really bad memory and the worst job I have ever had.

Pros

Strong job stability in a regulated utility environment, along with competitive pay and solid benefits package. My immediate team is genuinely supportive and collaborative — we work well together and have each other's backs. The work itself offers a sense of purpose given the essential nature of the industry.

Cons

Upper management operates with limited transparency and decisions flow strictly top-down, with little visibility into the reasoning behind strategic choices. The compensation structure does not differentiate for high performers — annual raises tend to land at or below inflation. Work groups across the department are heavily siloed, which limits cross-functional collaboration and slows knowledge sharing and adds frustration.
