Pros

Stable - will always be there.

Cons

I can only speak of the past. Low morale, favoritism, poor employee appraisals. and waste of a lot of rate payers money. Doubts about prevailing wages and raises. No incentive to stay now that the pension plan for new employees id so inferior that of previous employees. Retires have not got a cost of living raise in over 11 years. That means they really could care less about them. The board of directors could really care less about fairness.

Pros

New district manager is making leaps and bounds in the right direction to make MWRD a great place to work, and has already made several changes at the suggestion of employees. (Previous management was not open to employee feedback.) It's refreshing to have Mickey do yearly company-wide listening tours in small groups and SEE those employee suggestions coming to fruition/being worked on to achieve. I absolutely love my co-workers and department managers. It's a fun environment, where we care about each other.

Cons

Some departments do not communicate/work well with each other, which is a result of previous management issues. This is something that is being addressed currently, and it seems that Mickey and the current management working to fix this issue.

I wouldn't make this your first choice

Pros

Most supervisors are flexible, not all. Good pension for employees grandfathered in. Not for new employees.

Cons

First, this place is very resistant to change. In the nine years I have been here not once have I seen any of this change. There is no direction, no motivation, they fail to give you a reason to give it your %100. There are A LOT of people in supervisor positions that should have never been placed there in the first place. Worked hard for the college degree? Won't get anything out of it here. They are not up to par with industry standards when it comes to compensation. They can't see to standardize on anything. If you have zero motivation to be promoted or don't feel like advancing your carrier is important to you, then this place would be perfect for you. As a side note, Mrs. Gerali is not to blame, it's the people below all the way down,that are the real issue.
