Pros

- Really talented and dedicated employees that want to do the right thing - Flexibility to work from home - Pension and 401k

Cons

Leadership continues to make it very challenging to work at Xcel. They cut bonuses to make earnings, on the heels of that have forced employees to return to the office while not saying why even though they acknowledge that productivity is at an all time high (many believe this is to force employees to leave instead of firing people). Leadership constantly talks about strategy while chaos continues and they just bring in another consultant company to "fix" it (where the actual strategy comes from). If you work here you are just a number to leadership as the most prized asset under leaders are FTEs.

Pros

Standard methods, cloud infrastructure, and reliance on in house staff over contractors makes it very easy to implement safe, fast, consistent changes. You will be valued as a human and you will have a voice within this company. You can make a career here. Your coworkers and immediate leadership are all talented and intelligent individuals who actually know how to do the same work you are doing.

Cons

AI rollout and unevenly applied hybrid work made things difficult for employees with disabilities and those that lived far from office who had traditionally worked remote or for tasks that do not lend themselves well to AI overhead
