Pros

SoCalGas is a great company with a great culture and full of the best people. I've always been able to make my family a priority and have forged some great relationships.

Cons

The one con about being a great company serving millions of customers, is that sometimes the hours are very long.

Pros

Great pay/ benefits. Great, Fun co-workers and Customers. Donuts. Energy Tech Residential ( field tech) position enjoyable...your own boss in field. Position (in field with Customers) requires using all your senses and engaging your mind--as a sleuth-- to drill down in solving the Customer's actual cause of request. Consistent Management practice of bringing left over food-goodies (after their meeting) to the employee meeting room--unexpected and unnecessary... but very classy.

Cons

Best to leave brain on stand-by at the morning meeting. Management style is authoritarian, top-down, maintain the status quo at all costs, yes-man, falling dominos-- school of Management. Management despises change and improvement. Speaking up on need for continuous improvement, improving processes and calling attention to waste in operations--will target you for retaliation. Disingenuous Code of Conduct and ethics hotline-- is for show only--- Machiavellian. Lack of employee growth and development by culture where highest virtue is....'staying under the radar'. Company lags its peers in safety because safety is politicized. Promotions not based on merit/ best and brightest are not promoted-- fast-track to promotion is based on abilities as a loyal yes-man who will back their boss....unconditionally. Stress problem at Company caused by Management bureaucracy.
