Pros

Interesting industry and many good people still work here despite mass exodus since MidAmerican bought the company 4 years ago.

Cons

Management says it supports employees and employee development, but that is just not the case. It's hard to get time off for training and if you don't get training, you can't advance. Workers are overloaded and stressed out because of the layoffs whend MidAmerican took over and the many workers who have left on their own in the last 4 years that have not been replaced. I am doing the job that used to be done by 3 people without any additional compensation or bonuses. They have cut benefits, taken away time off and slashed budgets. They say that it is because of the economy, but we had our best year of profits ever last year. This kind of contradiction makes me distrust management. There is also still a good ol boys network going on behind the scenes. Not that they don't promote women, but let's just say there are a lot of family members who work at the company.

Pros

The employees that actually and actively do work and come together.

Cons

This company promotes bullying and has zero work life balance, they basically have reverted back to the 50s in relation to office first policy! So equated and behind the generations. The CEO Darin Carroll of Pacificorp was on a zoom call saying how he dislikes WFH as he was obviously at home on the call, you just can't make this stuff up, VPs quit and they turn around and get promoted because no one wants to work for a culture of favoritism and bullying!
