Pros

If literally all you care about is your salary, the pay is decent

Cons

Covid-19 has been the ultimate test of leadership for many places, and Buckeye Power/OREC/OEC has completely failed. The CEO has exploited the power generation industry's status as an essential industry to force the entire workforce back the office, even as covid cases explode in Ohio. All because he has a bizarre personal vendetta against working from home, even though nearly everyone here can easily do so. He is scornful of criticism of his leadership and indifferent to the risks of a crowded office during a pandemic. This place does not value the health and safety of its employees. Full stop.

Pros

The mission of co-ops is noble, co-op staffs around the state are great to work with, lineman training school excellent, workforce development offerings plentiful, engineering team, CEO are experts and professional, statewide service teams outside safety are toxic environments leadership refuses to address

Cons

-leaders don’t address favoritism, creates monster employees, narcissistic bullies, who exclude, target new, good people who don’t submit to them and management/HR turn blind eye to it all; causes revolving door; loss of good employees -middle managers not supported -resistant to change needed for future success -not one diversity hire in the place; no black employees is very odd -lots of wolves in sheep’s clothing and HR doesn’t protect the lambs -unwritten policies you’re supposed to follow -male dominant organization, particularly in leadership, female employees disproportionately terminated
