Pros

Decent equipment, Set around and played cards and played on the computer instead of working if you like that and do not care if your actual ability and skills are valued.

Cons

Weeks and weeks away from home. Authoritarian management style. Incredibly cultish environment. " Its a GOOD COMPANY" repeated over and over again until people actually believed it was true. (It was not). Like most electric cooperatives Basin has a lot of corruption and wastes a tremendous amount of money. In the last year their poor management and out of control spending finally caught up to them. It's a really poor environment to work in and my friends who stayed say it only gets worse. Basin's environment breeds tattle tails and brown noses as that and riding the safety train is how you move up in is this company. I hated Basin while I was there and 2 years later still despise it. If you have a backbone and can think for yourself and you like to work- hate meetings and being non productive do not work at Basin

Pros

Hopefully someone with leadership skills will buy them out.

Cons

No leadership or team works skills. Basin is full of want-a-bees and clueless Narcisists. Do not go to work for them!

Pros

high pay and decent benefits. Current CEO is great guy.

Cons

Although CEO is a great guy he is very naive when it comes to allowing HR to be management over IT Professionals. .. Its like Engineers working with Mechanics....it just doesn't work! Bad management in IT and HR that needs ousted. Employees do not matter and management only wants feedback they want to hear and don't deal with the real problems plaguing the department. You will be a lower level job title doing Senior level work in IT specifically. Mid-management is too scared for their jobs to even make any real decisions because of new CIO and Head of HR breathing down their necks.
