Going Downhill and may be going to sell
Pros
Decent salary (industry standard) and benefits. This may change if the company is sold.
Cons
The rumor is that the company will get sold in the next few years. This is the only explanation for bringing in Baine for the latest round of lay-offs. Lay-offs have included managers with decades of experience, leaving behind gaps in expertise that cannot be covered. SCE may also be trying to cover for expensive blunders at SONGS and with Edison Mission Energy. Employees are being stretched extremely thin and workloads are increasing exponentially. The company gives lip service to safety and employee satisfaction but the management style is paranoid. Slip-ups by management tend to be blamed on line employees. The situation for union workers is much better.
