Pros

Watlow has changed A LOT in the past 4 years. The pay is great for newer employees. The people are great and the environment is great. I like coming to work everyday.

Cons

Sometimes communication is bad. Also, they've raised starting pay for temps/new employees but didn't compensate the employees who have been there a long time. The people who have worked there for 10 years are making only a small amount more than new employees

Business Outlook

Pros

Management supports and demands tolerance to change via constant process improvements being implemented. Customer satisfaction and meeting customer expectations is a top priority as well as meeting metric goals & regulatory requirements. Business system is well defined from the Quality Manual through the work instructions for each task required.

Cons

Not all managers follow the Watlow Way defined ethics standard and are not always held accountable for their actions. The training program is the weakest link in the business system and causes quality issues when high turn over of employees occurrs.
