Region Assc engineer

Region Associate Engineer (Current Employee)
Compton, CA

I have been working at Socalgas full-time for more than 3 years

ProsGreat benefits, and on the job training. For engineering, job is fast pace and demanding from the customers.

ConsJob Advancement isnt great. job promotions are sometimes located in facilities not within the region. job duties get to be repetitive and sometimes will get boring.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Overall positive experience as a part-time employee

Meter Reader (Former Employee)
Downey, CA

I worked at Socalgas part-time for less than a year

ProsPaid training provided. Many opportunities for advancement are available once you start working with the company. After only a few months of employment, you will be eligible to enter other branches of the company if you pass the examinations.

ConsAs a part-time employee, it is very difficult to qualify for health benefits because you must accrue a set amount of hours over a year, but the minimum hours required to qualify is set too high.

Advice to Senior ManagementHealth benefits should be given to all part-time employees, regardless of accumulated work hours.

It's a good company, but hard to get into

Administrative Assistant (Current Employee)
Los Angeles, CA

I have been working at Socalgas

ProsYou get a pension. You can also go anywhere in the company. Management can be tough - as in there is a ton of work to do, but the pay is worth it.

ConsYou have twice as much work as you can do. It's super hard to get into the company. It's best to start as a contractor, meter reader, or a call center rep.

Advice to Senior ManagementIt would be great if you hired more people so that the ones you have don't have too much work to do.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

A great job

Administrative Assistant (Former Employee)
Los Angeles, CA

I worked at Socalgas

ProsA great place to work if you want to be overpaid and underworked. I came from a non-profit organization and the work load at SCG was nothing comparatively.

ConsSometimes it got boring. It is a "who you know" more than a "what you know" for advancement

Advice to Senior ManagementKeep helping employees learn and grow. it will benefit everyone
