Pros

Stability of industry. The business is growing and many competent employees do good work with the best intentions. This is a great company if you're at the end of your career and looking for a steady paycheck into retirement.

Cons

Limited advancement opportunities. Do not accept any position believing it will be a stepping stone into the larger organization; this is a closed loop. Management by suggestion is common as few initiatives ever get off the group. Speaking up is discouraged and retaliation is the law of the land. HR is well meaning but not empowered. Employee morale is low and misinformation rampant. Limited career development, laughable incentives - 5 years until 401k employer contributions are vested, that's a long wait for 0.5%! Tone deaf leadership asks already stretched workforce to "do more with less" year over year despite the fact that the company doesn't offer cost of living increases and even top performers rarely get more than a 1% raise.

Pros

Some really good people from the original Company before Suez bought them. Service offerings are many to help in the Vast needs in the Water Industry Market.

Cons

Eliminated many people who were experts with many relationships and whom were the reason I came to work for the company. Very unprofessional on how they treated these people. They hired their replacements before firing making enemies in the competition. Toxic and paranoid management. No trust in allowing sales professionals to do their job. Did not follow through on promises to customers. No true understanding of relationships between sales and customers. Hired sales individuals with the understanding they were to run their area on their own, yet to the contrary, micro-managed people in sales while defending any constructive criticism of their operations in getting work sold completed. Pushed new services while ignoring their main tank maintenance business which was 80% of their revenue resulting in market loss and loss of excellent sales-tank experts to the competition.
