Record profits with minimal reward for employees

Pros

Job security will be there as the product is always needed Some of the people are kind Uncomfortable for women

Cons

Lots of "this is how we have always done it" style processes that make jobs harder No motivation to improve Put people at risk during COVID that were high risk with no second thought Raises are a max of 3% - a majority of the time you are lucky to get 1% with a stellar review Record profits due to refusing to treat employees better Vacation/PTO is so minimal you'll be burned out 95% of the time Your ability to manage workload is rewarded by more work and less pay increases/promotions No room for movement

Excellent place to work! Best place I have ever been.

Pros

I will mention this since it seems not everyone shares my experience on these posts but I am a female employee and have not had the same (or any) sexist issues I have experienced at the several other Milwaukee manufacturing companies I have worked for. I think Badger Meter has amazing new management and some of the best people I have ever worked with. The company has a vision for the future and is pushing for growth and to be cutting edge in both employee experiences and product. I am exciting to be working here at this time because it has provided me a lot of opportunities to make an impact on the company as they are not stagnant. Everything is not perfect of course but they are trying to improve and I like that because it provides opportunities for personal growth and to share ideas. I am never board and overall, my co-workers are excellent. The company focuses a lot on hiring high quality employees and really listens to concerns and responds. Every quarter we have a meeting with the CEO and executive leadership and are allowed to openly ask questions, many of which have been responded to with change. I would highly recommend.

Cons

I think there are always more improvements that could be made but one I would like to see is in benefits. We recently got parental leave (men and women) which is awesome but would like to see the ability to roll over vacation year to year. The defined contribution plan is great (5%) but I think there is some additional items that could be added.

They are OK to work for but you will be overwhelmed with the work load.

Pros

They are a steady employer. We are given average wages benefits. We are allowed to try new methods and have the newest technology.

Cons

They will not allow any overtime and the workload just keeps getting worse. The middle manager is a will not share any information with you unless it is something you need to know. He takes credit for my ideas and will monopolize the meetings.
