Avantages

Distribution System Operations is a good place to be. If things need to change they can change. There are people willing to support. Turning the lights back on is satisfying. There is an honest focus on making sure customers are back as soon and safely as possible. Pay is good. They have a nice setup with DMS doing some of the switching for us. Bonus & get paid overtime.

Inconvénients

THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH SYSTEM OPERATORS. They are not hiring fast enough to replace the people leaving. Change seems to take a long time. Business model seems to be heavily dependent on getting paid for capital improvement projects. This does not seem sustainable. Some of the supervisors are making it hard for some folks to stay. Doing admin for all of the things we do can get old. Overtime is 1.0x not 1.5x.

Avantages

Engineering team is young and open for innovative ideas. Everyone supports and respects each other and willing to help and learn from each other. As a contractor - it is a very smooth and stress-free work experience.

Inconvénients

Might be little bureaucratical when it comes to paperwork & processes but this is a large utility so this is expected or even required. People tend to rotate a lot and it makes it difficult to find support & training but everyone understand it and there is no pressure on workload most of the time allowing you to finish the job without a lot of pressure.
