Pros

Amazing coworkers, culture, and management up to just below to director level. Slightly below industry average (but decent) pay and relatively good benefits.

Cons

The upper management of this company has always been pretty out of touch. They insist on always trying to force employees back into the office despite the fact it places undue burden on their employees and offers no real benefit. They rarely seek input from on the ground personnel or try to understand business practices from the people who have to carry them out before making sweeping changes which leads to unnecessary issues. Yearly raises usually don’t match inflation.

Pros

The people are definitely the best. Committed. Caring. Hard-working. It's like family. And the culture of the company is focused on the people too. Unlike our competitor, SoCalGas does not have routine lay-offs. We invest in the community we serve. Our employees are engaged and show up at volunteer opportunities to help give back. Our employees have integrity, care and concern to do the right thing for our customers and the community. I have worked here for over 20 years and am so proud of our employees! #TeamSoCalGas

Cons

Resources can be scarce, so work-life balance can sometimes be a challenge too.
