Pros

The advantages of working at Santee Cooper are diminishing with the arrival of new leadership with zero respect for employees or South Carolina. The previous advantage was the family environment, but that has almost disappeared. There remain pockets of people who care about employee development and success but they are no longer the majority.

Cons

Poor, toxic upper leadership. Employee success, development and retention are not only not a priority they do not care. Leadership doesn’t even seem to care about the future success of the company and only care about their own selves.
