SCE, once a leader in many areas, has lost it's mojo

Pros

Southern California Edison has above average compensation, work-life balance, and a diverse cultural work environment. There many dedicated individuals to work with.

Cons

Leadership has relied on third party vendors to make decisions that have resulted in catastrophic economic results for the company, employees, and rate payers. Many of the vendors now are in management. The bankruptcy of Mission Energy and shutdown of the nuclear facility were both due to decisions that could have been prevented. Now the consultants and newly hired management have decided to outsource everything starting in IT. The winners are the consultants. The losers are the company, rate payers, and employees.

Pros

The company will decrease their operating costs by eliminating the need to fund employee pensions and benefits and hiring 3rd party vendors to perform the work that employees did in the past.

Cons

With the company exporting jobs overseas, they are not assiting in the US Economy. They will be adding to the US unemployment figures. The company's sevice level will decrease in responding to support calls, i.e. help desk, trouble resolution. The vendor employees will demonstrate the undying commitment that is present in company employees. Any addtional work, will require changes to existing contracts.

Quasi-governmental characteristics with strong workplace politics

Business Outlook

Pros

Culture is more life-work balanced environment than other typical companies. Wide variety of job opportunities and a more stable operation in a recession but no significant upside opportunities during expansion, either. Flexible work arrangement such as 4/10 (4 days 10 hours a week) or 9/80 (9 days 80 hours for every two weeks).

Cons

Due to the rate case being approved by the California Public Utilities Commission, the company is subject to significant scrutiny. This creates a highly bureaucratic workplace politics, resource management, and turf war.
