Pros

- Opportunities to work on a variety of projects. - Competitive salary.

Cons

- Direct manager lacks leadership skills: dismissive of feedback, resistant to collaboration, and prone to micromanaging. - Employee growth is not supported — professional development is discouraged and career paths are unclear. - Project management is inconsistent; work is often delayed at the manager level and then handed down as last-minute rush projects. - Workload distribution is uneven, with little concern for work-life balance. - Low morale and burnout due to lack of trust and respect.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. Pentair has undergone several transformative changes in recent years to emerge as a pure-play water company, and worked hard to be transparent and minimize the impact of these changes with employees as much as possible. We understand this was not your experience, and appreciate your candid review.
