Pros

Health Insurance and 401k program. A good place to start for a year or more and then move onto a company that will care about you.

Cons

If your employees are only staying for health insurance, you've got an even bigger problem. Many are unhappy both in the office and in the plant. You are discouraged to communicate unless it is to your supervisor. This becomes an issue if the problem is your supervisor, but you are only allowed to discuss issues with them. People clock in and count down to clock out. Employee satisfaction is not a priority and is extremely conservative (Donald Trump propaganda throughout management offices). There are inappropriate jokes about liberals/democrats on a regular bases by coworkers and management and even if you don't lean that way, it is still unprofessional. SCE does not foster a sense of community or growth within itself. Since it is family-based, typically family members will take leadership roles that they are unfit for and it creates a hostile environment for every party involved.

Pros

I’ve spent 8 years with SCE and expect many more. I enjoy the work I do and the people I work with. Managers are fair and the company has outstanding benefits. I’ve watched the company grow and make improvements in technology, production equipment and training. I’m happy to work for a company where my feedback and suggestions can make an impact and I can go home feeling proud of an honest days work. Although SCE is nationwide and a leader in the industry, it’s still a small family run company. Everyone has to pull their weight in order for the company to succeed. I like that the company recognizes hard work and holds everyone accountable for their actions. If you do good quality work and are a reliable person, you’re rewarded with raises and advancement. One of the best things at SCE is that it promotes from within and trains employees. I started in an entry level position and worked my way up. They gave me a chance to prove myself and build new skills. I know that as my interests change or positions become available, I’ll be able to move around the company as I build my career. The company is big enough to offer opportunities in every area of business, both in the shop and in the office. My job supports my family well and provides excellent benefits. In 8 years, I’ve never paid a premium for health insurance. No weekly deductions for health coverage for me and my family, plus the coverage is excellent. With the merit based pay and outstanding benefits package, I’ll be at SCE for many, many more years to come.

Cons

In the summer the production shop can get hot. SCE added large fans and vents that pull in fresh air to help cool the building. Even with all the upgrades, it is still hot when the temperature outside hits triple digits. Most of the year outside of a few days in July and August the shop is at comfortable temperature.
