Pros

I stayed with this company for many years because there are so many inviting people that I work/worked with. In the beginning this division of Watts Water Technology was very customer focused and locally managed. Also the benefits had been great and the main reason I stayed for so long.

Cons

Over the years the corporate location took over and integrated Watts Premier into having the Corporate mind set. This took away from the local processes and focused more on the company's bottom line. I understand that this is normal for a company to grow however the cost was at the local employees and the end user customer. The company stopped hiring people and kept temporary employees for years without hiring them on yet promising that the person would eventually be hired. To this day they continue to verbally tell a new temporary employee that they will be hired on yet nothing ever happens. The people that have been hired on were either friends or family of someone higher up. Often times an outside person is hired before job opportunities are even offered to internal employees. Raises, incentive programs, and job performance reviews are a joke. An employee could have an amazing review showing growth and reaching goals but when it comes time for raises they are usually rewarded 3% or less this is barely over cost of living raise. I believe in fairness and equal opportunities however I do not see that with the Corporate version of Watts Premier.

Pros

Most of the employees are great to work with.

Cons

New management is oblivious to the business, and arrogant enough to think it doesn't matter. Middle management grows exponentially, while they squeeze nickels out of the lower levels. Morale is so low, and their idea to address that issue is to put in basketball hoops and ladder tosses outside.

Pros

Good busy work and the days go by fast. Nothing else positive. Pay is not up to industry standards and they don't like to keep you, just use good workers.

Cons

Promised permanent employment within 90 days, didn't happen. They only say that to get you in the door, who can work without benefits in this day?
