Highly engaged team that focuses on improvements
Everyone is very open honest and willing to help.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
They need to replace the entire executive team. AE is way too top heavy. There are Managers who don't manage anyone (and dont do any work). Many of the current executives were also hired based on DEI/non-job realated experience, and have no business trying to run a ulitity.
Leasership is spotty at best. No people vision.
What is the best part about your compensation package?
The pay is higher but not enough to live in Austin where the cost of living has sky rocketed ovwr the last few years. The pay is also not enough to deal with how poorly management treats you on a daily basis.
Retirement benefits are second to none
It is very competitive with the private sector.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
That it be market for the work.
What are some of the best things about your team?
Small team with high turnover.

Good people work here trying to make a difference.
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
AE is a company of extremes. It has some of the best people and some of the worst. The problem is you cant fire or sometimes discipline the bad employees so the good ones have to do double the work to make up for the lack of work or correct the mistakes of the bad employees which causes burnout.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
Pay day is what I always look forward to.

Teams are filled with nice people
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
AE's reputation took a major hit due to Winter Storm Uri. Two years later it took a hit again with Mara. As previously mentioned, the executives are bad, they and others need to be replaced and the way AE hires or promotes people needs to be changed.
