Pros
Fair pay, good time off when needed. At one time the union was strong and protected the employee but with automation there less employess to protect. The retirement package is half of what I netted so its not CEO retirement but livable.
Cons
With lay offs due to automation the employee has become less and less important. SCE would lie to a persons face then denie it unless you had your voice activated tape recorder working. SCE was sued and lost over racial discrimination so the tape recordings were very important for forceing SCE to comply with their own directives. The litigation is only one example of SCE not treating the employee iwth dignity and respect.If you are better educated than supervisors or managers they will hold you down. If you are a minority you have to watch your back 24/7 on and off company property.
