      Pros

      Fair pay, good time off when needed. At one time the union was strong and protected the employee but with automation there less employess to protect. The retirement package is half of what I netted so its not CEO retirement but livable.

      Cons

      With lay offs due to automation the employee has become less and less important. SCE would lie to a persons face then denie it unless you had your voice activated tape recorder working. SCE was sued and lost over racial discrimination so the tape recordings were very important for forceing SCE to comply with their own directives. The litigation is only one example of SCE not treating the employee iwth dignity and respect.If you are better educated than supervisors or managers they will hold you down. If you are a minority you have to watch your back 24/7 on and off company property.

      SCE - Lose skills & Learn to be inefficient

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      SCE provides stable employment. Once you get a job there, you are almost guaranteed a job for life. There are a great deal of opportunities for younger workers to replace the baby boomers that run the company. Some designs are being refreshed now after over 50 years. You get a 25% discount on your electrical consumption.

      Cons

      If you are looking for challenging work, this is not the place. The business is a cost plus model with the rate payers stuck with a bill they have to pay. This tends to inflate project costs, build empires and see wasting money as a way to increase top line revenues for the company. This leads to large teams where few people do significant work, leading to boredom and a drop in overall skill level. One colleague said it well, "Edison is the place you go to lose your skills." Those that actually get a lot of work done become quickly over loaded. All of this is kept very hush-hush as well to ensure that the consumer or regulators never see how much is wasted. The company invests a great deal to avoid any records and ensure their corporate privacy. Working at SCE can create subject you to Moral Hazard.
