      Pros

      Many of my peers want to do good

      Cons

      Senior management at the corporate office are water-industry incompetent. Rely on the "behavioral model" to hire and promote, and ignore competence and water industry experience. Pay lip service to the values that "define" the company's culture.

      Pros

      Everything is really good. I value how much they care about safety. They practice what they preach.

      Cons

      You have to wait a year in your current position before applying to move up.

      Pros

      Great benefits. Affordable health insurance

      Cons

      Stagnant growth. They only focus on leadership development or licensed trades. Growth is based on friendships. Skills and experience don’t mean much.
