My experience at Southern California Edison was wonderful during the first 17 years.
Pros
The company provided me an opportunity to learn and promote to various positions.
Cons
Management was not good at following the same expectations that were communicated to their employees. We were told to be ethical and have a questioning attitude. Our questioning attitude should include stopping work activity if we were unclear or uncertain if proceeding with the activity would have adverse results. I do not believe that management did their due diligence to ensure that the steam generators were tested correctly. Because of this, the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station has been permanently shut down. Over two thousand people lost their jobs and some lost their retiree benefits because they were too young to qualify even though they worked for the company for over 20 years. Some of my co-workers had 30 years of service and did not qualify for the retiree benefits because they started working for the company right out of high school.
