Pros

As the competitive pressures on the industry mounts the company is becoming ground zero for major business transformations. Opportunities to really drive change and improve business operations are all around.

Cons

While the Executive Leadership is seeking to drive change the overall employee base is very change resistant as most haven't worked anywhere else but there and only know and believe in the Edison way. In addition, this leads to a very challenging and political work environment that rewards those that do the right thing for their respective political groups versus what's right for the company.

Pros

Many good employees! They want to do a good job and are loyal to Edison.

Cons

Management view of women is retro to the 1960's. Be quiet and be subservient, you may escape the arbitrary judgement of upper management. Values are defined, but do not apply senior, illustrated on a daily basis.

Pros

Salary and benefits are good.

Cons

Do NOT work in Energy Supply & Marketing. Stay away from the Energy Contracts group as our new Director that came in after the reorganization is very political and promotes his 'boys and girls' and your performance is irrelevant. You will not like working here unless you kiss his ass and all his people's asses. All the recent college grads finished their rotation and left after 1-2 years. Do not even waste your time at this company as it is a unhealthy work environment where politics decide your fate. I am leaving this crappy company.
