The day could start out slow, a thunder storm pops up and you are very busy.  I learned how to work with difficult customers, explaining to them the how's and why's of high electric bills, how long it may take to have power restored.  The people I worked with were the best.  Management worked with you and would be there for you.
During storms you be required to keep up several repair crews working in different areas. Though working in different areas they were working in your area of coverage. When you are restoring high voltage power lines you have to be alert at all times.  At the end of your shift you have by setting up switching procedures using circuit maps to restore power to as many customers as safely and quickly as possible.

I learned how to conduct audits, what things to look for specifically to solve problems, and what the typical day on the job is like for internal auditors. I enjoyed working with every co-worker and I admired how I wasn't treated as their subordinate, even though that was the case. The hardest part of the job was definitely being thrown into the fire on some audits, having no idea what to do first and etc. However, I learned a lot because of it. I am most proud of improving my communication skills and learning how to talk to people and a formal level and with confidence. Before this internship, I was extremely shy, but it has opened my eyes to the world and I am eager to experience more in the field of auditing.

working with customers and the good employees who worked along side and could always count on when extra help was needed

Few things are repaired before mechanical failure. Management handles most issues from a maintenance viewpoint rather than operations. Outside Operators frequently handle the work of two due to staffing issues, which management has shown no inclination to address. Union support is laughable. Run from this place, if they try to hire before it's shut down between 2025 & 2028.

The main issue I had was good old boy mentality from OTHER departments, not my own.  I felt like an outsider for a while but once I finally acclimated I found that it was a great company over all.  My pay was more than fair and my boss made sure I seen good raises.  The problem I had was not having enough time with the work load we had to be able to train for advancement.  I really did love my department as a whole.

Cleco is good company to work for with training for specific job, career opportunities and advancement. Cleco also offers benefits, health and life. The company pays a very good hourly wage and yearly raises, weekends off unless the need was there.The hardest part of the job was going in on storms but I didn't mind once I got there. I really enjoyed working with the people at Cleco.

I worked there for 12 years and never made half the money as an equal 50 miles away, they take what you say in suggesting a new idea and make you feel stupid for bringing it up the a month later it’s their brilliant idea lol the management is corrupt, I broke my back in a accident and the moment I got back they started trying to get rid of me like I was a liability. Do not work for this company 

Managers and supervisors are only concerned with their growth and development and not developing their teams. Managers and supervisors routinely exclude team members from team building activities. Inclusion on all levels is nonexistent. All employees are for themselves and not concerned with teaching others. 

Cliques are a common thing but most employees are friendly and always willing to help.  
Being micro managed is hard but being allowed work home on Friday's makes up for it. 
Training is lacking which is frustrating because it seems your co-workers that are training you give you the bare minimum.

Every company has its quirks,  but overall I don't regret working here and could continue to do so. Good benefits, pay is good I'd say but I haven't jumped around too much. Your experience is largely based on your direct manager but at the top it always seems like they're trying to cut costs somehow across the company but VPs and Execs always seem to get their bonuses and nothing ever happens fast around here.
