Excellent People and Benefits, Poor Organizational Culture and Leadership - Anonymous employee Irvine Ranch Water District Employee Review

Pros

The pay and benefits are good, the non-management staff are helpful and professional.

Cons

Poor communication. Multiple departments gather information and report multiple sets of data and information to regulatory authorities. The right hand rarely knows what the left hand is doing. Organizational culture and values are unclear. Management and directors seek fault rather than solutions. Pay increases less dependent on work quality and more on how much management likes you. Board of directors cares more about money than about the environment and the people they serve.

Pros

Facilities are nice, pay and benefits are good for a organization of its size approximately 500.

Cons

Poor management and leadership, poor dysfunctional structure, process and procedures. Not a place to go for structure and best practices. Very clickish environment especially amongst management. A lot of bureaucracy.
