Pros

Work with some good people. Plenty of work to keep you challenged If you do good work, you'll have a job until the next round of layoffs.

Cons

Executive/upper management is out of touch with the rest of the business and the common worker. Panders to the whims of wall street and having xx quarters of meeting/exceeding street expectations. When there's the slightest chance of not meeting the annual operating plan, watch out for layoffs. With being a publicly traded company, management will do whatever is necessary to achieve their bonuses even if it means stomping on everyone below to get there. Management job opportunities are reserved for executive management and their friends, you won't even see them posted.

Thank you for your review. Unfortunately, like most businesses during the pandemic, we had to make some very difficult choices to address the economic downturn, while preserving the greater good of all the people in the business. In making those choices, we have always treated all of our employees with respect and dignity, and strive to take into consideration their interests. Best of luck in future endeavors.

Pros

The only pros that I can say about Watts Water is that they are growing and continuously acquire new brands. I would say the PTO also isn’t as bad either comparable to other companies.

Cons

There’s no type of support or process documentation in place which is baffling since this company has been around for over a century. You have to jump through hoops and red tape in order to simplify or automate tasks. Also, management always wants control over things which can get frustrating. They don’t allow you to give ideas at all. They’ll state that they “hear you” but they don’t at all. Their systems are not the best whatsoever. Health insurance premiums are awful. They only offer HSA or PPO and the PPO is ridiculously expensive. I also feel like there’s zero culture. I was there for 12+ months and I barely knew management or coworkers on a personal level. Some departments are super siloed so it’s difficult to have conversations with people and get to know one another.
