Pros

Management, although being a little tough to approach at times are friendly and helpful. Work/Life balance is good here, although depends which department you are in. Good benefits and Annual Vacation time compared to other companies I've worked for. Culture is friendly, but conservative...the dress code is slacks, shirt and tie which gets a little uncomfortable during the summer but overall I personally don't mind.

Cons

Training is non-existent you're expected to learn on your own and ask questions as you go, however someone with the knowledge will always try to help the challenge is finding that person. Growth within the company is slow and projects aren't exciting since there isn't much breakthrough innovation going on in the plumbing world.

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.
