Positive Reviews From Avista Employees

  • What did you like most about the interview process?
    Nothing it was during covid and it was via computers and all of their computers did not have videos so I could not see them. Unprofessional, should have known.

    Health insurance is very good package.

    I've worked there long enough that I get a 75% match for my 401k. Newer employees have lesser packages.

    Politics/hostility/toxic. Bring the company into the 21st century in managing people

    It is a very hostile and toxic work place. Upper management need to pick qualified leaders and stop the politics.
