Pros

Better than average pay for area, excellent benefits. Great company stability/security. Positioned to take advantage of growing markets in renewable energy. I love what I do and this company DOES provide a lot of opportunity overall. Only benefit of COVID is that we now have the ability to work from home and POWER has the technology to support it.

Cons

Top levels of company seem well managed, but not so much at local level. Disorganized and micromanaged from regional level. Seems bad employees never get fired. Good employees don't get enough recognition or opportunity for advancement. Review policies are poor and don't seem very well thought out for such a large company.

Pros

Was a genuinely great place to work. Great people and great culture. It was worth the slightly-lower-than-average pay because work life balance and benefits were great. I enjoyed going to work every day.

Cons

Poor financial decisions from upper management regarding the shareholder program led to the company's demise. Upper management sold out to WSP. Management made millions while long time employees got zilch. As someone else had mentioned, retention bonuses were unfairly distributed. Most people didn't get any retention bonus even if they had been long time employees of the company. It really felt like everyone who wasn't upper management got stabbed in the back. They got their payout then dumped the company. Still stings to this day.
