a typical day at work is to take care of customers' concerns including working with builders to make sure they are taken care of with meter installs and other matters to make their job complete as well.  This is my first experience working at a construction site power company so every day you are faced with something new. I have learned to prepare meter installs for builders residential and commercial accounts and also for individual residential customers. 

Management and co-workers are supportive and i have a great boss.  
The hardest part of the job is when computer sometimes are down and you can't obtain the information you need. This is typical anywhere with technology.  

The most enjoyable part of the job is being able to help the customer help solve any issues and many they thank you and appreciate your prompt help and complete all my daily work assignments for the day.

TNMP is going through changes and, unfortunately, not for the better.

To cut costs they've consolidated some of their functions meaning that those who did do them were no longer needed, and fired rather than laid off.

Lay-offs entail severance packages. Firings don't.

I feel this philosophy change will, and has, gotten rid of the "old heads" whom knew how the system worked and replaced them with new guys who live in theory, not reality.

I forsee reliability problems for the next few years.

Good co-workers who are cooperative.
Must be flexible.
Self management is very necessary.
A lot of travel via company vehicles.
Must be detailed oriented.
Should be customer service guru.
Should be a great manager of your time because it really does equate to your money.
Weekly payday!  Easy scheduling for a day off or emergencies.  Safety safety safety should be your daily concern.  


assisted customer with confidentiality, awareness and proficiency, provided technical advice to customers, updated existing customer information, entered new customer information into unique sophisticated computer system, processed orders, forms, and applications, routed calls to appropriate resource, and identified and escalated priority issues

decent pay not good enough pay for what you are doing and the management is not always transparent if not at all but you get to travel to different places you possibly have never been to before the culture of different places is always good to learn someday you never know what you're missing so if you're willing to travel to random rural towns be my guest

Decent salary for job.  Pretty much unlimited sick time and PTO for Dr, but challenging to get vacation time actually off when you want it.  Managers were 2 hours away, so hard to develop a relationship.  Very old school and never worked in any other industries, so not welcome to seeing it any other way but their way, which wasn't always good.

Very busy for all, and days go by super fast. Makes you appreciate the guys going out to get your electricity back up. Local management needs help. Limited support from Corporate office. Have had multiple openings but problems hiring. Job is secure due to hiring issues, but hard to advance.

Cheap boring place to work at. Management doesn’t even notice lower level workers. Lower level workers are easily replaceable. Don’t expect any support from upper management. I would never recommend this company for anybody. 

Compared to some electric utilities and municipal coops in Texas,  benefits here are really good. It's a good company to start your utility engineering career at, especially if you take the time to learn from the old timers (designers and linemen).

The employee's are very nice there and it is a relaxed environment. I am a contractor there and it seems that they are not offering a permanent position.
