Pros

Great people for the most part doing the daily grind. Good benefits and decent pay, although SoCal is expensive. Those of us who have been here a while can afford it. It's hard to convince new talent to move here. Lots of newer employees with potential, but they too will soon be beat down.

Cons

Sr. Leadership out of touch. Many good people were let go and bad apples promoted. Most "new" ideas are smothered. Change for the sake of change. A lot of "hey look at me, look at what I did". People take credit for the work of their subordinates routinely. Incompetence is common place and HR is afraid or unable to do what is needed. It's not just who you know, but what kind of dirt you have on them. A lot of skeletons around this place.

Pros

Edison gave me great training as a supervisor and a leader. Worked with really smart people. Fair amount of turnover allowed for numerous growth opportunities and advancement. Good pay, great benefits.

Cons

Pulled the plug on San Onofre, what a waste. Lots of call ins to work after hours and weekends.

Pros

Thorough knowledge of the utility environment. Lots of exposure to systems implementations. Several different business units.

Cons

Not a great environment from upper/senior management. Middle managers have to deliver the bad news with no support. When employees complain, senior management doesn't support.
