Business outlook
Pros
Good compensation and benefits. High level of job security as a non-profit regional transmission organization. Down to earth employees, transparent company, approachable CEO. Almost guaranteed a 10% or better bonus. The new SPP energy market system is interesting and provides more variety in job opportunities.
Cons
Being "evolutionary not revolutionary" can be frustrating if you're an innovation kind of person. Things change slowly at SPP and there are plenty of hard heads in management. Overachieving is not rewarded and habitual slacking is not reprimanded. "Time served" is too much of an influence on the promotion process. Bad managers can linger for years.
