Pros

Good pay, interesting work, great people (below the executive level)

Cons

Shrinking benefits and an executive team that's a corrupt group of nobodies. And layoffs are a feature of life there, forever. The math is very simple: since income from rates is steady of even declining, the only way to get earnings growth (the Holy Grail) is to cut costs. Which means lay off people. Every year. That's all it is: our current batch of executives is too incompetent to grow earnings in any other way. In fact, with all their little hobby projects and mini-empires on the Edison International level, all they do is waste money and depress earnings.

Pros

SCE offers strong perks, benefits, and opportunities, especially within Field Engineering. There are plenty of chances to learn, grow, and be creative in the role. Leadership and management have generally been supportive, and the pay is solid for the expectations of the position.

Cons

Compensation is good if you perform the core job well, but it may not fully reflect the value of employees who go above and beyond, bring additional technical skills, or create broader impact beyond the standard role expectations.
