MidAmerican Energy Reviews

Sr Management is focused on maximizing profit over all else. Treating employees well is barely an afterthought. Morale has been declining for years. When Berkshire Hathaway took over I had heard that they will be a great financial stabilizer, but will squeeze the company like a turnip to get the last ounce of profit out and it turned out to be true. Budgets are cut to the bone - except for wind power projects, which Sr Management has convinced regulators to allow an 11% + return. One Sr Manager in particular has single-handedly demoralized about 1/3 of the company with his attitude and policies - his ego was so large I'm amazed it fit through a doorway. If you disagreed with him, he would find ways either get you fired or make your life miserable and you would want to leave.

The last six months have seen a big decrease in morale with no end in sight. No offices can order supplies or kitchen items (coffee, plates, etc...) without jumping through a bunch of hoops, and supply requests are just denied anyway. Nearly all employees who aren't upper management are faced with 50-60 hours of work a week and are given no overtime. Employees work hard for the company day in and day out, and when the year end comes bonuses are cut and pay raises are diminished. That way we can publish big earnings, and the higher ups can get their millions in salary and bonus.
