Pros

Edison has good pay and good benefits. One of the last places at offers a pension and 1for1 401 contribution. Many different locations to transfer to, if you want to change jobs after the 18mo residency.

Cons

IT right now is a disaster, outsourced, and the rest of the company is suffering as a result. Lots of nepotism. Saw alot of good employees let go, people were released not by their skill set, but its a who you know environment. Mgrs are a mess with very little mgmt experience or ones who dont really care. Their answer to the shooting was to outsource, which is proving to be a bad decision. They should have retrained their mgmt team instead of outsourcing. Ultimately CEOs fault for not paying attention to what was going on or for allowing a bad plan to be enacted.

Pros

Pay and benefits are best reasons to work there. There is even a discount for new car purchases with Ford.

Cons

Loss of focus on people as an asset. Broken HR processes. Multiple rounds of reduction in force since 2012 have created a culture of fear, low employee morale, and nonexistent promotional opportunities for minorities and women.
