Great Company - Slow Career Growth

Customer programs advisor

Business Outlook

Pros

Company provides livable wages for So Cal to all fulltime employees. The company has not had any major layoffs since the 90's and they value honesty, safety, and diversity. There is plenty of opportunities to for professional development and managers take the time to help employees be the best person in their job

Cons

Difficult to move up in the company and move out of current positions. The company has an old school mind set of staying in a job for 10 years. Knowledge transfer when getting into a job is not great, so there is a lot just figuring it out when you first start a job.

Good work, but not a career choice for me.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay, decent work, you start early and end early (this is only from a part-time perspective). Get lots of exercise and meet a lot of people while working. A great company if you are looking for a safe and stable company to work for.

Cons

Whatever the weather or temperature of the day, you work. Also, since meter reading is going away due to automatic meters, the workforce is dying down and the job isn't as important as it used to be. To move to other positions you must complete multiple tests before they even consider you, even if you are the best person for the job. Same goes for seniority.

Fantastic company

Pros

Despite the complex regulatory environment the utilities are required to operate within, the company does a good job of navigating through it. The people at all levels are great people to be around both professionally and personally. The company from top to bottom strives to achieve work-life balance. I feel as though they do. There are some that micromanage and want you to put in insane hours. It only requires slight elevation to resolve the problem. Courses offered through the company are fantastic that span across the many different departments the company has to offer. The company does a great job investing in the future of the company employees. There are no shortage of opportunities in any field related to the company: field work, field management, office work, office management, community relations/public outreach, HR, IT, environmental, accounting, etc. Offices are in small town communities to downtown metropolis areas. Benefits are second to none. I try to find positions for all of my friends and family in the company. To me, there is no higher endorsement than that.

Cons

Due to the complex regulatory environment and political spotlight the company is in, sometimes the work scope you had in mind can change at a moment's notice. Be prepared to be put in to some unfamiliar positions, but the company will take care of you. You may get the impression that the contractors make way more money than you do, that is not the case. Get used to not wanting another job. Be happy you are at this company.
