Pros

there is plenty of opportunity here for those who are motivated and willing to dig in; water will be a hugely important industry for the country and the planet over the next several decades

Cons

overly process-oriented, can be slow; difficult to navigate the organization, some resistance to change. many pine for "the good old days" vs seeing out the new frontiers

Pros

great products, Older workers are knowledgeable but have all had enough and are leaving. I see very little pros for this company at this time.

Cons

Management is clueless. The place is shaped like an inverted pyramid. All chiefs no Indians. They keep laying off productive workers only to replace them with more middle managers. Morale is now non existent at this company. Management took a very good company and destroyed it in 5 years.
