Pros

You'll rarely work overtime Quiet Stable Cafeteria on Campus

Cons

You want to know one department that rate payers shouldn't be funding? It's the Communications department. It is waaay overstaffed (80-100 employees). What do they do all day? They spend tons of money on internal campaigns. Yes, really. Or they bring in 4 or 5 advertising agencies to discuss a simple campaign aimed at consumers when they should have the staff internally to do it themselves. Quite regularly, they'll have five people working on something that one person should be working on. Directors and Managers have a way of doing nothing at SCE and it is amazing that the new management hasn't done anything about it yet. Anyone good that is bubbling under the radar at a Project Manager title or Consultant title will NEVER get noticed. Managers and Directors have a way of taking credit for everything. So what happens? The good people leave. Kind of sad.

Pros

The company is very secure; even though they are having staffing issues right now, layoffs are few and far between. Good salaries and working conditions

Cons

The company is switching from a "family" type environment where employees are expected to grow within and be nurtured to what would be a more cutting edge, sometimes harsh place with respect to layoffs and employee relations policies.
