Pros

very good company to start if you are in the energy analyst program. the market analyst rotation program needs work.

Cons

too many temps, need to hire more talented individuals. must develop more analyst rotation programs to inspire fresh grads to work there.

Pros

When I first started working there it was really cut straight and dry. You have to really work hard to get ahead and push to show your work to upper mangement. Trying to enjoy working there was hard because of all the older co-workers. If you really want to get some where in the professional world and have a great company on your resume work for SCE.

Cons

The company doesnt have value in the balence between work and play. SCE is about productivity and efficenity. Alot of the mangement positions are all about work work work and no play. Also trying to get a day off for vaction is a joke, you really have to plan years in advance.

Pros

People are nice, relatively good pay for work. they don't insist you take your work home with you (at an entry level) so there is relatively low stress after leaving work. Offer a lot of programs to help continue eduation (my plan). I want to go back to school for phd in environmental economics and resource allocation, so not a bad place to start to get good overall background of the industry. they are very supportive of this

Cons

feels a bit stagnant at times and takes a while for anything to get moving. it is the nature of big companies. It feels a little intimidating because some of the older employees are disheartened by the company for one reason or another. They often claim that promotions are not based on quality of work but how much you kiss up to your boss. I haven't seen this yet, but only been here two months. They are not very casual either- dress code pretty strict so if you are used to wearing jeans to work (ie start ups) probably will take a while to become accostomed to chage.
