What don't you like about working at Watts Water Technologies?

"Outsourcing all of IT to external companies even though it is costing them 4-5 times more per year and resulting in less getting done at a higher cost. A Boston area newspaper uncovered that during the economic downturn in 2008/2009 their upper brass were getting larger bonuses, pay raises and still driving around in company paid luxury cars while handing out layoffs, pay cuts, wage freezes and slashing bonuses for the rest of the company. On top of that the company cut how much they paid towards the employee health plan and now employees have to cough up more $$$ for health coverage. So add that on top of the fact that many employees working there make less today than when they first started."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"When asking your people to tighten their belt and do more with less, asking them to sacrifice their bonus and pay raises for the good of the company, try leading by example for a change. So give up your fancy company paid luxury vehicle, give yourself the 5-10% mandatory pay cut, halt your own bonus if you're telling everyone else to go without."

Until COVID-19, I'd planned on retiring from this company because of the management at the Groveport location and the opportunity to continue to have a positive impact on the performance of the distribution center. The compensation was excellent and the direction of the company from my point of view is on target. My boss and his boss are very reasonable and will listen to logic even if it doesn't correlate with their point of view at that time."
