Pros

There are many good people here, work-life balance is good, and the benefits package is competitive.

Cons

A protracted downsizing has left the morale low. Unfortunately, individual performance isn't appropriately weighed, many non-performers are still present, and the company doesn't adequately compensate performers for the costs of living in Southern California.

Pros

Pay, benefits, some co-workers, some locations

Cons

The company is not the same, middle and senior management are on a rampage promoting their favorites, and laying off or ignoring the hard working. It doesn't matter how much you know or how hard you work, it's all about who you know. If you want to get ahead here, you had better know the right people. The company made big mistakes at the San Onofre Nuclear Generating station, which lead to it's closure. All those employees were let go. Human Resources, Customer Service, and IT are all laying off also, and it's not just 10 people. If you're starting your career, this is not the place to be….think before you apply here. If you don't mind getting overlooked for someone less qualified because they know someone here, then you'll be fine. But if you're ambitious, seek growth, and want to promote, run. Your hard work will be appreciated somewhere else. Employees tried to tell the leaders the treatment they received from managers, and those employees were laid off.

Pros

Used to be a great place to work for. Salary used to be competitive. People used to be friendly and hopeful. Management used to respect the law and their employees.

Cons

Company just laid off thousands of people, shut down the nuclear plants and used the $36 million to .... redecorate the HQ in Rosemead. The atmosphere is toxic and disgusting.
