The upper management at Pacificorp need to raise their pay scales comparable to Nevada Power which Berkshire owns. The cost of living in Utah is just as high (or higher) than Las Vegas but the wages are un-conscionably and substantially lower. Thus they struggle to hire qualified employees.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
Working with other employees on shift.
What did you like most about the interview process?
At the time I was hired the company and management were completely different people and entities.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Again, profit and minimizing expense is the only goal. Regional pay scales for skilled journeymen positions should be comparable. They are constantly working towards eliminating the union representation and diluting the skilled trades to non-apprenticeship on site training. Understaffed.
What are some of the best things about your team?
We are constantly under staffed as Management thinks that paying overtime for coverage saves them money. Then they hire un-qualified people because they are the only ones that will take the massive pay cut to come to Utah. My co-workers are very good to work with.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
What the company says in public is the opposite of what happens on the ground. They claim and are required by law to a reliable, reasonably priced electricity as a regulated monopoly. The reality of the production level is no maintenance, no replacement of equipment until failure. No reliability
