ISO New England

This company fosters an attitude of "getting the other guy so you can look good" No team environment. It is a fear based environment and people walk around in fear as you just don't know what will happen from one day to the next. The management consists of analysts who have had no training. As a result they provide no training. 
The people they're managing (loosely used) have more knowledge and experience than they do.  They promote these people for lack of internal candidates which makes upper management look better for having the most "Managers" under them. Hence the title "manager" for an analyst.

Senior management is hands off therefore whatever is done to workers is done. There is no protection for the employee.
Workers stay in their cubicles and do not speak to one another (fear based) environment.  This is systemic and begins with senior management. The money and benefits is the only thing keeping people there. They are consistently terminating people "at will" for their own agendas.  People with many years and at an age which would seem impossible to retain employment.
Senior management is far overpaid as anyone who checks this out will see. We, taxpayers, are paying outrageous salaries to people who do very little work. 
This non-profit agency needs to be shut down. There is no value added by having an RTO when utilities would be able to manage as they have prior to deregulated markets.
This company sucks to work for. There are people waiting to be vested and are leaving the next day. The date is programmed into their phones.  You can see how the environment is...This is spoken from a 15 year employee.

Team was overstaffed, had to kill time, avoided consistent negative interactions with manager, unprofessional management, human resources not reliable, looked forward to many "breaks", do what you are told, even if doing nothing, nod a lot in agreement else risk ostracization. Free food available usually, keep the excessive corporate budget a secret, use lots of technical language to keep customers guessing and uniformed.

I worked as a temp for 3+ months and I found the employees were not very friendly, treated "temps" as outsiders to the extent of excluding them in any extra activities the company offered. Be prepared if you are temping to be just that, and never considered a REAL employee. The management was stiff, unwilling to assist in proper training procedures, and had very high expectations of what experience & knowledge you should have, despite the job requirements.

ISO New England is a great company in regards to compensation and benefits if you're lucky enough to get directly hired through the company. The company uses too many "consultants" which are essentially temps but pays really well to keep them happy to stay on as indefinite temps. Without the benefits or perks. Quality employees are lost due to not getting hired even after years of putting in the time as consultants.

very quiet atmosphere. People tend to stay to them selves. not a team environment. basicaly work on your own type of environment with very little help. no sharing of ideas. very little cross training. Sink or swim attitude. Benifits and compensation are excellent. Users tend to be very demanding.

ISO has no difference from other utility companies. Safe job, good life/work balance, but lack of innovation. Management is procedure driven, keeping record complete does not exclude the mistake from happening. Since it is non-profit company, the advancement is not determined by the performance but a lot of other factors.

I have such respect for this company and what they do to make sure their employees can grow in their professional careers. The amount of training you have access to is incredible. I really feel like my voice matters here. The pay and benefits are great too!

What is the best part of working at the company?
Very smart people

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Old fashioned company culture. Command and control top down.  No room for thinking in a new way

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
In my former department, cut throat. No sense of teamwork.

This is the ideal company to work for. I thouroughly enjoyed working at ISO NE. It is a very corporate, professional company with incredilbly pleasant coworkers and supervisors. Incredibly knowledgable and intelligent environment.

Very poor management - HR especially. I was a manager for many years at this joke of an organization. beware of The harassment, bullying, and lack of discipline.
