Business Outlook

Pros

Ability to influence change - even if you're lower in the organization Focused on creating a great culture to attract and retain talent I have the power to grow my career I can get behind what we are doing - managing energy - making it safe, reliable...GREEN! I'm very excited to work in this industry right now

Cons

The pay is worse than the market average - but I think it's going through changes Middle managers are resistant to all the changes - so you have to push hard to reach others higher in the organization
