Pros

You'll rarely work overtime Quiet Stable Cafeteria on Campus

Cons

You want to know one department that rate payers shouldn't be funding? It's the Communications department. It is waaay overstaffed (80-100 employees). What do they do all day? They spend tons of money on internal campaigns. Yes, really. Or they bring in 4 or 5 advertising agencies to discuss a simple campaign aimed at consumers when they should have the staff internally to do it themselves. Quite regularly, they'll have five people working on something that one person should be working on. Directors and Managers have a way of doing nothing at SCE and it is amazing that the new management hasn't done anything about it yet. Anyone good that is bubbling under the radar at a Project Manager title or Consultant title will NEVER get noticed. Managers and Directors have a way of taking credit for everything. So what happens? The good people leave. Kind of sad.

Pros

Pay is above market average, the EMPLOYEES are great, workplace environment generally promotes growth, there is plenty of growth potential.

Cons

If you work here as a temp you've already hit your glass ceiling. The overall experience of your time here will be based up on how your manager is. There are alot of interoffice politics and managers who are blatantly unfit for their position. Temps will do most the work, and get none of the credit, and are the first to be blamed. With an evolving corporate environment, many line employees are being given administrative positions and lack the skills to perform them competently. Nepotism is the fastest way to promotion.
