Pros

The people, hands down, are some of the best I've ever worked with. They become almost like family. This doesn't include the higher management, who will work you like slaves to line their pockets while expecting everyone else to work on minimum wage.

Cons

Expect to work overtime hours (including Saturdays) without overtime pay. While the company says it values "family time" don't expect to have any. The shift times are ridiculous and allow for very little time away from work. The turnaround on employees is high because people are hired and promised pay increases, insurance, etc. but rarely, if ever, see it. They dangle that carrot in front of you with empty promises and hope you don't get wise. Temps will work an average of 2 years before hiring. They work a loophole that ensures the temp remains a temp so the management doesn't have to hire them and provide benefits and time off. Most walk out.

Hello and thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. If you are able/willing to provide more detail, please reach out to our People Services Team (peopleservices@watcocompanies.com). In order for us to consistently improve, more detail on the temp concern would be helpful as we don't utilize temp team members at most locations and also provide insurance to all full time team members, so additional information would be helpful. Thank you.
