Pros

Favorable compensation & benefits package! Lots of; - Nepotism, if you have the right last name one can be mediocre or downright stupid and still climb the corporate ladder. A total idiot getting a Sr. PM position thanks to Daddy?? HR is often referred to as "DSR" (Daughters, Sons & Relatives). - Philandering at high levels of the company, seems to be quite a history of this behavior. - Back stabbing, watching an M3 take out her competition one-by-one with unadulterated LIES was extremely disappointing! This individual was recently promoted. - Taking credit for others' work, a common problem in T&D. Be careful who you share your ideas with!! - Side hustle, this place is GREAT if you have another job/money making past-time! Some people actually work however, there are a number of individuals that really do NOTHING! If Edison wants to really save a lot of $, quit being a Charity and show the door to the Deadwood!

Cons

Integrity - Is severely lacking on the part of Leadership. Why have ethics training and certification when you don't walk the talk???? Hiring practices for a number of Organizations is highly suspect. They pick who they want to pursue and they jack/jig the process to ensure they get their candidate. If their candidate misses the HR evaluation cut, they'll cancel and repost. So much for fairness. If you want a career, Edison is a good place to get some experience on your resume, then leave! If you're looking for a paycheck, there's lots of places to settle in and ride through to retirement.

Pros

Very good benefits. Paid for overtime on storms and emergencies if you are a manager or below.

Cons

Management is clueless. Still hire and promote on the good ole boy network. If your parent is in senior management, you will get promoted faster because of nepotism. Senior management is not very safety oriented, especially the VPs. Many employees have been seriously injured or killed, and yet the management remains the same. CEO Pedro Pizzaro is all about the bottom line. Recent massive layoffs in Safety /Environmental staff, even though management says it's a priority. Human Resources will also protect managers even if there is solid evidence, employees suffer.

Pros

People - amazing co-workers doing great things for the communities SCE serves.

Cons

Too many to mention. Eliminating experience, benefits, and any reason whatsoever to work for this consultant-run organization. Sending people home, group by group, to await their fate as they worry about being employed - no thank you. The last batch of executives ran this once great company into the ground - not sure the next batch is doing any better.
