Xylem buys a company and then runs it into the ground

Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay. Benefits were OK but have declined to 'be inline with piers"

Cons

Benefits have steadily decreased. Management makes decisions based on dollars and not quality of equipment provided. Since purchasing the company, the place went from double digit profitability in 2000 to 1% in 2015. Xylem's constant "improvements" have run the company into the ground.
