Terrible place to work

Pros

None whatsoever. This is a terrible place to work at

Cons

Everyone at watlow is always on edge. High pressure workplace with little to no path for advance, that is unless you want to ingratiate yourself to some of the long term employees and bosses there. Which seems to work for some people. Massive layoff at this location where they laid off most of us who have been there for several years all the while they kept several contractors that really don't do any work at all. But off course they were really good at sucking up to the boss.

Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts about your experience at Watlow. We understand that the work environment and career growth are important to you, and we appreciate your honest feedback. We are sorry to hear that you felt everyone was always on edge and that the workplace had a lot of pressure. At Watlow, we aim to create a positive and supportive atmosphere where employees can thrive. We genuinely value our long-term employees and want to provide them with opportunities to advance their careers. Regarding the recent furloughs, this was a difficult decision. Our decision to furlough some of our team members was based primarily on market conditions and business needs. It is our desire to be as fair as possible, which is why we are extending COBRA coverage, at Watlow’s expense, for all affected team members during this time. Please know that we always strive to make decisions that benefit the company and our employees as a whole. We also hear your concerns about the contractors, and understand that it can be frustrating when it seems like some people aren't pulling their weight. We will definitely take a closer look at the situation you've highlighted. We appreciate your advice regarding management. We're constantly working on improving our leadership skills and creating a supportive environment for our employees. Your feedback is valuable and we will seriously consider it as we continue to manage our workforce.
