Pros

Coworkers are generally supportive of one another. Company has high expectations of employees and employees work hard to meet expectations.

Cons

Executive leadership does not trust/value employees. Two layoffs since the beginning of COVID -- the second layoff coming in October as stock price was at an all-time high. CEO completely non-negotiable in October mandate that all employees (unless HR-approved exception in place) must work onsite despite very successful work remote program results to date. While some roles, due to their nature, must be onsite or benefit greatly from being onsite, other roles do not. Benefits of returning to work onsite for many employees unclear just as Massachusetts reports dramatic increase in COVID cases.

Thank you for your review. At Watts, our first priority is to the health and safety of our employees as our most important resource. Unfortunately, like most businesses during the pandemic, we have 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. We have followed this practice in comprehensively addressing employee concerns and needs in (1) asking less than half of our headquarters employees to return to work in the office every other week on a rotating basis, (2) appropriately accommodating continued work from home as individual employee needs require, and (3) providing a safe in-office setting by following all recommended safety protocols.
