Pros

There are so many great people at this company. Unfortunately many of them are stuck in the middle or lower levels of the organization. We are again entering an age of old school commands and controls of every single decision here. Run.

Cons

again, the American Water board pulled a random lever on the ceo vending machine. we are back to total workforce domination yay! Toxicity, people working in fear and a team of disconnected leaders. It was so good before that it is easy to see how our current is and former CEO was unprepared to do this job.

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.
