      Stagnant wages, below industry standard, constantly cutting benefits

      Pros

      You can get away with being lazy and insubordinate because management can’t afford to lose any more workers.

      Cons

      Pay is well below industry standard. Most employees find out they can make much more elsewhere, so they’re gone within their first year. If you do stick around, you’ll constantly find yourself training new employees, which means you’re always going to be doing all the work. If you get injured at work you’ll have to sit on a conference call for hours with a person who isn’t a doctor, so the company can try and weasel out of paying you. This creates a culture of workers that work through injuries because reporting it is a colossal headache. They claim to be all about this “safety culture” but really that consists of slideshows and e-learning. If you point out safety concerns they are ignored.

      Great people, awful management

      Operations supervisor
      Recommend
      CEO approval

      Pros

      Interesting work. Good people. Decent pay.

      Cons

      Operations upper management is a complete joke. They show no respect toward middle management or operators. Work/life balance is terrible because they purposely run severely understaffed, causing crazy workloads. Pay structure is awful. Operators make more money than most middle management.

      STAY AWAY

      Wastewater operator

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      You can make a lot of money if you don't mind working 12 hour shifts indefinitely

      Cons

      When interviewed and the question of overtime comes up listen to what they ask. They will ask if you mind working overtime. What they do not tell you is you will be working days and days without a day off. I did 18 days in a row someone else did 40 days in a row without a day off. The levels of management and interference they provide is ridiculous. There client is unpredictable and you can find yourself in trouble for things you are not aware with no support of management.
