      Pros

      Stable large company with opportunities in so many different areas. Work with an experienced Manager and the development opportunities are awesome. Many have been there for more than 20 years.

      Cons

      You may be a contingent worker for quite some time depending on the department you work in. A lot of traditional management still learning how to embrace generational differences.

      SCE - Lose skills & Learn to be inefficient

      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.
