"Watlow was a family-owned business for almost 100 years. They have thermal solutions for products, including heaters, sensors, and controllers. They had diversified product lines that were created at 8 different locations and employed about 1200 worldwide. They recently sold their company to a venture capitalist group Tincum."

"If you're looking for raises or promotions, keep looking. The merit or they call it raises work like this you are terrible 0 percent if you do below average to outstanding 2 percent. They loved to pickup temp and rotational engineers out of college to avoid paying much. Promotions, are what they can get away with . My last 2 I got were $1. And now I found out we have to wait 6 months and do that job before we get it. The benefits are good in 1 small area. The 401k. It's a little above average. Besides that part the heath care coverage is very expensive if you get sick. Sing/fam deductibles are 3,000 or 6,000. Then a co pay also. I'm still mad, that I lost a boss because he spoke up for us. If you just go along without questioning your fine. If not, your moved out of the way like so many are."

"Watlow Controls is an average place to work, if you like living in Winona, MN."
