Aquatic Bath

In-cab camera system installed; management claims it will not be used, unless they decide to at a later date.
  Route planning and appointment times not properly calculated.  You either have too much time or too little.  Constant phone calls are required to managers and customers if behind, while trying to hurry and get there.
  Pay for holidays and personal time don't make sense.  
  You are expected to fuel at factory before leaving every trip, and you are strongly discouraged from getting fuel on road.  You are effectively expected to pay for your own showers, which are not reimbursable by company.
  Many people have left or retired.  Others who stay have to take on all the extra work.  The previous safety manager had a open door policy;  he got fired right before cameras were installed.  New regime is not so good.
  Kind of a sad place.  First employee I met in factory told me that this company doesn't care about it's employees.  From what I've seen, that's true.
   Not worth the time; minimum pay makes it tolerable for a little while.  I recommend finding something better, that is more likely to stay open for a while.

Overall
This is the place to work! It doesn’t get any better than this! I love this job and everything about it! I am very thankful I was given the opportunity to work for this company!

I have learned many things working for this company. It has helped me to raise 4 children. I have come through the ranks the hard way and been rewarded for hard work and determination. I had the opportunity to work with many folks I grew up with and seen them do well also. I gave many hours of my life to this company sometimes over 100 hours per week. They use to really appreciate the knowledge and dedication. After the last round of lay offs and down sizing the system broke down. I was the only engineer left out of 13. I was not included in any engineering projects from that time on. things had changed. I'm sure there will be major changes again as the company continues to re-group. I wish the best for all those hard working people that had made this company the number one bath fixture manufacture in the country and also the best place to work.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Working 4 10 hour days was nice

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Hours weren’t guaranteed. The amount of times the chain wouldn’t get up and run and we would either get a call to not go in or we’d go home early because of it…

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
People are nice but the bosses would run the line faster to the point where it was hard to keep up

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Get to work,  change into work clothes if you don’t have to search for them which I personally did as my small size was either hard to find or when I did order clothes were put in the men’s locker room. Wait in line to try and clock in if they weren’t down (3 clock in machines and a lot of employees) with 7 minutes to get clocked in. Work for 2 1/2 hours, break, work 2 1/2 hours, lunch, work 2 1/2 hours, break, work 2 hours, clean up 1/2 hour then go change and go home.

I've worked here for a few years. Personally I can say management will smile in your face before taking every advantage of you physically. You are expected to work at an almost running pace all day, any standing still time is immediately greeted with Helicopter Supervisors who jump the gun. Even if you have completed your task with time left over you are literally expected to never stop moving. Then they manipulate a situation to benefit them. They are spiteful or people when they miss days, The plant manager pretends to be a nice guy but will speed up production when he is upset. And Procedures are always changing almost at an hourly rate and it is your fault if you don't remember. Supervisors act like Overseers instead of team mates. 

The training I received was basically product knowledge, which takes a lot longer than the training period, and how to answer calls.  There should be much less time focused on product knowledge and answering calls and more time on the inner workings of the company and how the departments work together to fulfill a job site order or even a stock orders for the Wholesale suppliers. 

I work for aquatic for over 10 years The pay has always been good but could be better they don't watch over you like other companies and put cameras in your truck The electronic logs are simple The equipment is well maintained they give you your freedom to be a driver and make your own decisions The only real downfall is when you take time off you're not compensated the same as when you are working aquatic is a pretty laid-back company and I've never been put under any pressure to ignore safety in fulfilling my deliveries although I have to say if you're lazy this job is probably not for you

It's not a healthy work environment. The ageism, harassment, and constant threat from supervisor's is frequent throughout your shift. You will either witness it or be victim to it if you don't play along with the good ol' boys. The factory is hard work, you go home coughing up all the chemicals you breath in during that day. The ventilation isn't the best, but you do have the option to wear a respirator but unfortunately the factory is about 20-30 degrees hotter inside than outside so you can not possibly wear a mask and work comfortably. This is not a female friendly work environment. There is a reason there is such a high turn over there.

A typical day at work would be setting up my daily materials at my station in an orderly fashion. I learned to manage my time wisely and be on my toes because anything can go wrong if you're not paying attention. My management walks around to every station to review how well we are working. My co-workers are friendly and enjoy coming into work. The hardest part of my job is the stress of getting everything done, but somehow everything tends to work itself out. The most enjoyable part of my job is knowing I actually I worked hard for my money.

Have worked at Aquatic for 15 yrs in various jobs. Work is dirty as we are working with fiberglass and chemicals. Company provides all proper protective clothing. Bosses are knowledgeable. Down fall of company is retirement 401k plan. And cost of living in Washington state is to high. However we try and have fun and most employees take pride in the work. Also we all could use cost of living raise.
