Pros
SCE pays above market, despite many employees complaining about their low pay on livestreams. The benefits are gold-plated, almost similar to what you'll find in government. The work is straightforward, and as long as you say yes and don't push back, you'll be safe at a company that provides an essential service. The tech here is off the shelf, so those interested in tech roles, move on ASAP. If you like coordinating stuff, managing projects, and pushing digital paper, give this place a go.
Cons
At the end of the day, SCE is a financing company for the State of California. The CPUC approves everything and we don't make money off of usage, but rather the valuation of capital assets (e.g., infrastructure). If you're an MBA type, the thinking can be sometimes backward here, because the company attempts to demonstrate value through state-mandated programs such as energy efficiency, rate analyzers, and community events versus programs or services that ratepayers really care about. It's not like ratepayers have a choice for a commoditized service, however. SCE had a good brand in its communities, but now employees hide their badges. Rising rates, challenges with wildfires, and long hold times have created a negative view of the company. It's an okay place to work, and the remote/hybrid setup, good pay, and phenomenal benefits keep people from looking elsewhere. There's always a trade-off, right? For all those good things, you'll deal with management who says one thing but does something else or makes big decisions that have no meaningful impact.
