      Pros

      The TCP (total compensation package) at SCE is quite good, there are a lot of benefits like 25% off your electric bill if you work there. There is a great community of quality employees at SCE, especially in Customer Service where I worked.

      Cons

      Unfortunately, like every big company there are staff managers who are hired based on their resume and interview skills, but are really unqualified to manage others. After having a stellar initial manager, after a year he was moved laterally and a new manager was hired. She didn't know the business, we all had to train her, and if she didn't like somebody, they were gone. Upper management and HR were of no help, I left after 3 years.

      Pros

      Some good people to work with, good benefits and pay. Training for new engineers is great.

      Cons

      Management is strictly looking out for themselves. Not much opportunity if you are not in the "in" crowd. Very political. Promotions are not based off best qualified. There is a major waste in capital spend, I'm surprised the PUC isn't more engaged...

      Pros

      Good benefits. Some of the more senior managers still bring a wealth of knowledge in combination with treating their subordinates with respect.

      Cons

      The company's commitment to cutting costs is undermining the hard work and dedication of its employees. Also, the overboard focus on safety has gotten out of hand and it seems like that's all we talk about in meetings and briefings. That's fine when you work in the field or at a manufacturing company, be we work in an office. The company is creating an environment where people throw other employees under the bus to make themselves look good. Its very hard to trust anyone anymore, from senior executives all the way down to co-workers. It's sad really, because when I first got a job at SCE I was very proud and excited. Now I can't wait to move on and find something better. Somewhere where the employees are important to the company - it used to be like that, not anymore.
