Oh the Dreams they Sell - Operations Southern California Edison Employee Review

Pros

They pay you on time, mostly. Edison essentially has a monopoly on most of their Control Area, so that offers some stability when it comes to employment. Their benefits are decent, more or less inline with any major American corporation.

Cons

Edison sells a good game of change and growth, but their culture is quite set in the past. When you give the recommendations they request of you, be prepared to have them tell you "These changes can't be made, that's the way we've always done it" They require you to submit safety observations (even if they are made up) and your performance ratings depend on them. If you love meetings where the only outcome is another meeting, Edison is the place for you. The Performance Evaluations are successful in keeping the employee at arm's length of all managers, so expect your manager to have zero idea about what you do on a daily basis.

Pros

SCE offers strong perks, benefits, and opportunities, especially within Field Engineering. There are plenty of chances to learn, grow, and be creative in the role. Leadership and management have generally been supportive, and the pay is solid for the expectations of the position.

Cons

Compensation is good if you perform the core job well, but it may not fully reflect the value of employees who go above and beyond, bring additional technical skills, or create broader impact beyond the standard role expectations.

Pros

Pay, they pay very well. Interesting work and SOME very sharp people.

Cons

The department I was in was very toxic. Company claims to be values based but that is a joke. The "leaders" in my OU were abusive and have been reported to HR multiple times by many people. Nothing was ever done. The entire company isn't toxic, its too bad that some of the areas are.
