Pros

The work culture is great. There is little to no micromanagement. There is a lot of options for growth amongst your team or switching to new teams is very easy. There are a ton benefits. We work from home more than 50% of the time. The company is always looking for new and innovative technologies to secure a future in the utilities industry (ASPIRE 2045), and the company cares about sustainability.

Cons

There are many steps to try and climb the corporate ladder without an advanced degree and connections but that is how most large companies are so it's not really a "con".

Pros

Great benefits! Health, vision, dental, 401(k), really can't complain about the benefits. Solid org structure with leadership skills drilled to management ensuring a decent and professional employee-manager relationship. Strong unions. Educational Reimbursement goes for more than just colleges (think industry educations).

Cons

Pay is a little bit below average, BUT it is made up for with job stability (recession resistant) and strong benefits. Union employees get solid training, but management employees tend to get tossed of the pier and have to figure it out on their own. SO if you go into management be sure to always be learning. Ask questions of your supervisor, manager, and cohorts, AND always be taking courses/classes when available.

Pros

Very DEI focused, so would be good if you are a minority or female candidate interested in STEM fields.

Cons

Currently going through layoffs due to shortfalls in budgeting allowed by the state. California has planned for decarbonization of the state, mid to long range outlook not promising. Currently requires 4 days in the office.
