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

Really great mission. Not as cutthroat as other companies I’ve worked for. Cares about employees and structure of organization makes it a government org that doesn’t suck money for endless projects.

Cons

Pay for entry level employees feels low.
