Pros

They gave me a job and allowed me to do very creative work. They let me design new products and come up with new ideas. They let me know verbally that my work was greatly appreciated.

Cons

They never let me know with pay how much my work was appreciated. Always underpaid and given an extremely high work load. Expected to work 60+ hours a week, for very little pay. Corporate interferes in every aspect of the business. Corporate leaders who are not good at managing anything are put in charge on highly productive people and their productivity is destroyed and turned into resentment. Everyone I know is looking for a new job.

Pros

The only pros that I can say about Watts Water is that they are growing and continuously acquire new brands. I would say the PTO also isn’t as bad either comparable to other companies.

Cons

There’s no type of support or process documentation in place which is baffling since this company has been around for over a century. You have to jump through hoops and red tape in order to simplify or automate tasks. Also, management always wants control over things which can get frustrating. They don’t allow you to give ideas at all. They’ll state that they “hear you” but they don’t at all. Their systems are not the best whatsoever. Health insurance premiums are awful. They only offer HSA or PPO and the PPO is ridiculously expensive. I also feel like there’s zero culture. I was there for 12+ months and I barely knew management or coworkers on a personal level. Some departments are super siloed so it’s difficult to have conversations with people and get to know one another.
