What is the best part of working at the company?
Management's willingness to allow you to adapt to their way of doing things, at least with Water Reclamation (wastewater) facility. My transition in the Clayton Co. culture has been quite pleasant and an enjoyable learning experience. Glad to be a team member at the Flint River Rd. plant in Jonesboro, GA. I enjoy being an asset (not a little donkey) with the Water Authority. (smile)

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Learning the temperament of the physical/mechanical equipment.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Excepting, inclusive. Simply a joy working independently and as a team.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Communicating the plant conditions and processes in real time and adapting to ongoing needs of the biological and mechanical needs of the facility. Also, encouraging fellow operators and workers to continue doing well.

There are jobs and then there are careers. This place is the latter. The amount of experience that the employees here have makes getting the tough jobs run smoothly. The amount of employee benefits and incentives is unparalleled. A career in the Water Authority is perfect for a person that is looking for a home. I'd recommend it to anyone that is looking to get into or advance their career in the water/wastewater industry. Uniforms are provided and are of a good quality. During the summer months there are a boatload of incentives and training provided. Cross-training is provided for the employee that has a career minded approach. 

A typical work day for me is analyising business transactions for capital purchases and determining whether it should/shouldn't be capitalized. I have learned a great deal about governmental accounting and business processes. I have also gained the necessary leadership skills to mentor a team of individuals. I complete routine field audit to maintain the integrity of the Fixed Asset Inventory. I absoutely love the people that I work with. They are a very family oriented company. The hardest part of my job is trying to persuade individuals the importance of maintaining their assets. The most enjoyable part of my job is the people that I work with.

The company prides itself on being one of the top paying companies in Georgia for water/wastewater operators. However, it has been plagued for several years with poor leadership. There have been many employees that have put 30+ years in. Many are retiring but qualified people for those positions are being passed up and they have been given to those who don't even have the experience or licenses to hold said positions. The pay is great but advancement is questionable.

Managed all aspects of the security footprint and site visit. Great team building and employee appreciation. The work culture was great with employee incentives and perks. The hardest part of the job is awaiting support in order to complete your job. The most enjoyable part of the job is having great management leadership/peers/culture.

I thoroughly enjoyed working for the Water Authority. Although I worked seasonally, I was unable to advance within the company due to an injury that happened outside of work. No part of my job was hard. I just took in payments for daily or seasonal passes, maintained the grounds and bathrooms, and talked to people fishing. EASY job.
