Pros

Company is still well-respected in the area and in the industry. Lots of large, exciting projects under way across the company. Very involved in the community. Making strides to improve work-life balance for employees. Paying dividends like clockwork!

Cons

Working here you have to understand that this company's main product is dividends, not electricity or gas. Its main customers are shareholders, who are far more important than employees. Your annual bonus has almost nothing to do with your personal job performance, but is based on how much is left once the shareholders get theirs. Even closely related areas of the company are not managed consistently. Promotions are irregular and the criteria to achieve them are ill-defined. One location will promote an employee while someone with the same qualifications and twice the experience at another location is not promoted.
