Pros

Work ethnic is promoted. Good pay and benefits.

Cons

Traffic is bad going there. As far as workplace, it can be a bit cliquey. Some people maybe show you a smile but don't trust everybody.

Pros

Overall, this is a great company to work in. The company provides great benefits, great work/life balance, and a excellent incentive compensation plan.

Cons

In IT, poor performance aren't always dealt with at a timely matter. There's a very few opportunities to move up beyond a Team Lead/Supervisor in IT due to low attrition.

Pros

-Cash balance plan (7.5% of every paycheck deposited to a retirement pension) -401k matching; Roth 401k option now available as of 2019 -Vacation time just increased to 3 weeks after 2 years of service. Before, one had to wait 5 years to earn that third week -Tuition reimbursement ($5250 per calendar year) -Great work/life balance as most departments allow to work remote at least once a week. Company considering a 9/80 work week for some departments this year -Great entry-level program, such as Management Associates Rotation Program, (MARP), Financial Leadership Program (FLP), Engineer Rotational Program, and IT Rotational Program, for young people fresh out of college. Allows for exposure to different groups and a build-up of networks within the company for professional development and career opportunities in the future -Various career opportunities touching all aspects of the energy industry. It's encouraged to move around. -Stable company looking to re-brand itself for the future as natural gas is here to stay and will be part of California's strategy for electrification.

Cons

-Changes in business process often takes a long time -Resource scarcity in some departments as company is undergoing efforts to save O&M costs all across Sempra family of companies -Slow on-boarding process (badge, laptop, access to software) -mix of people looking to be challenged and those just in it for the job until retirement -Seniority driven in some roles -Fitness subsidy taken away for management employees
