Pros
Engineers need a 4 year degree. To stay employed they are required to pass EIT in two years or they will fire you. To promote past Engineer Associate 2 you have to pass PE. To be a Full Engineer (2nd Level Supervisor) you need to pass an internal exam (biased grading criteria). All other work units get payed more than Engineer Associate. Other units can promote to management without any educational requirements unlike engineers. Other units are required only a high school diploma they get double time for all overtime, they get paid more with higher COLA raises than engineers ( mechanics, operators, linemen, custodian....etc).
Cons
Toxic work culture. Engineers aren't appreciated. This place didnt allow engineers to work from home like other companies in the private industry. They recently adopted temporary conditional hybrid work schedules, not permanent. They require more from engineers and pay them less than Mechanics, lineman, operators. Be careful as this place doesn't care about safety, they charge you for training jsi/jti deduction. The union and ladwp have a lawsuit against them for misuse of jsi/jti money they force the employees to pay. They force you to pay into their pension fund 10% of your wages they don't match anything like private companies. They have Tier 1 and Tier 2 pension plans. New employees get placed in Tier 2 they get forced to contribute more than Tier 1 and they also get less than Tier 1. You don't pay into social security for retirement. Have to deal with a union that is against engineers.
