Metro Water Recovery reviews

Been at the District over 10 years, and have worked in two depts at various levels. If you are ambitious and are curious about different aspects of wastewater treatment, there are a ton of opportunities to explore different career paths. I can't speak for all departments, but in my experience, training is highly supported, both on-the-job and with external classes, so if you have an interest in a field, are motivated and show aptitude, you can plan a career path in whichever direction you'd like to go. The work is challenging but fulfilling, in Ops there's never a dull moment! You really feel connected to the core of our purpose as an operator, learning the complex systems all working together to treat the largest wastewater flow in our region, protecting public health and the environment - sounds preachy, but honestly I love what I do and would take this over selling useless widgets any day. I come to work with a purpose and feel valued for what I do every day. The District is pretty big, so it's hard to know everyone (over 400 people now!), but over the years I've come to know a lot of people and really enjoy working with pretty much everyone. Every place has a conflict here and there, but honestly with a new District Manager, a lot of the old issues are being resolved. We're still working on it, but it's so much better than before, and everyone is super optimistic and excited for the future.

Wages and benefits only slightly below average
