Pros

Company is pretty strong in fundamentals..that is keeping the lights on and being very active in the community. Employees for most part subscribe with the vision and stay with the company for longer time horizons.(you are technically a newbie with 10 year experience in the company)

Cons

A huge chunk of workforce is slated to retire in next decade; company is in no shape way or form ready to embrace newer workforce; the existing young workforce feels disengaged because there are no advancement opportunities. The company is terribly slow at mirroring it's customer base in its employee base because of history of unfair treatment of minorities. Pressing issues are nepotism, unfair job selection/advancement process, questioning culture not tolerated, and poor workforce/talent management.

Pros

Due to my experience, I don't have many positive things to say.

Cons

Management was not good in this headquarters. I was not very fond of the treatment that the supervisors had towards their contracted employees. I graduated with a high GPA from university and know how to learn. In my first role as a distribution engineer, there wasn't any concrete training available to learn how to start and finish a project from start to finish. I would often reach out to get clarification on many concepts I was unfamiliar with and the feedback I received seemed to be too "exhaustive" for my supervisor to explain. Not only that, but when I sent my jobs for review with the small amount of guidance given, they would belittle my designs due to my lack of knowledge that they chose not to reinforce. In my contracted position, the supervisor over me at Georgia Power held the decision for extending contracts for the contractors. I asked twice if my contract was to be extended in order for me to make adequate plans moving forward should my contract not be extended. Both times that I asked for confirmation, I was told that my contract was going to be extended. However, it wasn't until 5 days that my contract would expire that the supervisor told me that they decided to not extend my contract. It was a humiliating and frustrating experience. I expected more from this company and the people they have placed in positions of power.
