WATER QUALITY DEPARTMENT - MANAGEMENT REWARDS THEMSELVES AT THE RATE PAYERS EXPENSE

Water quality technician

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good people with good values at least in my department, referring to peers, and non-management

Cons

Top heavy, management promote and reward themselves and completely disregards it's core functions- those that make the water and ensure it is safe to drink. Non-livable wage, unless you are an MBA, Engineer, or upper management. Good ole boy mentality currently giving way to top heavy organization full of self-rewarding management who think way too much of themselves. No control over your career, low morale, and no incentive to go above and beyond.

Pros

Benefits still include a pension after vesting, 401k match and PTO. Good place to get some experience and then move on.

Cons

Lack of career advancement opportunities, leadership vacuum. Management has a disrespectful attitude toward employees and a distrustful attitude toward employees and each other. The workplace has a very unstable feeling.
