Pros

Good salary and benefits package. Excellent job security (they're not exactly going out of business - it's the second-largest electrical utility in the U.S.).

Cons

A stodgy, top-down company culture in which the manager is king and his authority goes unchecked. Independent thinking is discouraged here - anyone who suggests something new or doesn't conform to the thinking of the department as a whole is looked upon as "difficult to work with" or negative. SCE is stuck in a 1950s mind-set, mainly because a large percentage of the employee population has been with the company for decades, and old habits die hard. This is a dark, negative place to work in which employees talk the talk but don't walk the walk, and company values are just words on paper. There's a reason why SCE offers such a generous compensation package: the company culture would drive away employees, and it's easier to keep them with high salaries than it is to fix the problem.

Great company to work for in terms of mission, workplace, people, and pay & benefits. Lots of opportunities to grow & learn new things in different areas because of the size of the company.

Cons

Sometimes slow momentum of an enterprise company, but things are getting better.
