I worked with the Digital Solutions team. The tools required to provide the best service for Help Desk just weren't there. Nothing was automated, everything was done manually, and what should be a few simple steps always ended up being another of the many things to stay on top of. The environment was loud, a lot of social banter all hours of the day, and it was very difficult to focus on your work. Don't complain about this, because you'll be told to just deal with it. There was a lot of low-morale toxicity among the peers, and a general encouragement not to get involved because of all the negativity. They like to hire temp and keep you at temp for a very long time, which means no benefits, and no paid days off. In the time that I was there, we had to add firewall rules to block a video game a person high up in leadership was involved in during work hours. Another team member destroyed equipment in his anger with no repercussion. Another leadership member spent more time chatting very loudly rather than working. So, naturally, I did my best to stay low profile, work hard, and remain organized. And yet it is odd that my advice to anyone pursuing a job here is be diligent in maintaining a professional work relationship with your peers and watch what you say. Because you can be a hard worker with the most professional attitude and detailed documentation behind you, but if you say one thing that can be taken the wrong way, you can be 100% sure that someone will take it, twist it, and send it up the ladder, and you will lose your job over it.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Guaranteed 40hrs a week regardless of the season and very good benefits. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Dealing with a lot of different people and there feelings.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
My work environment is very hard working group of people always willing to lend a hand when the task at hand gets tough. As far as culture goes things are always dragged out and takes for ever to make changes happen. We come to work do the job and ask questions when in doubt.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
We start out by having a morning meeting getting our task for the day and go to it. Rain, sleet, snow or sunshine we are out there operating heavy equipment, doing underground pipe work, pour concrete slabs, paving streets, lowboy trucking and dump trucking.

If you work in administration you will have some support and a better experience with work and life balance. 
The CEO and COO care more about expanding the company to increase there own salary. While the employees get stepped on and lose benefits and perks every year.
If you work as a union employee, and are a good worker you will be taken advantage of. If you are a horrible employee, you won't have to do any work. The union is weak, the company only follows policy when it's in there own interest, and they don't acknowledge helping employees with disabilities. Overall, I'd say avoid this place like the plague!


The interview from when Clean Water got bought out was not good, thought the new owners were not truthful about their intentions with my position.

We were told that everyone had a job with the new owners and when I showed up on Monday AM I was hauled into the office and informed that I did not have a job.

Clean Water Services requires:
1. Hard work
2. Dedication and communication
3. Willingness to complete the task
Senior staff has a substantial amount of work on their shoulders and it was our job to help them complete their tasks. 


It was refreshing to work for folks who genuinely care. I only had a 6 month temporary position, so did not have access to healthcare and other benefits, but otherwise felt like I was treated well.

Easy work with some good coworkers and some cutthroat ones as well. Middle management is bad they do everything on the Forbes top ten bad managers habits list. But the job is simple and some days it can be fun

They are very supportive of work-life balance, but politics make the jobs feel unstable. As a complex government institution, it can be difficult navigating moving up the ladder.

The General Manager cared more about changing their working title to CEO along with getting a raise.  All while only give raises that were equivalent/less than that of a COLA.

If the supervisor likes you, you well do well. Good hours but lots of finger pointing and the blame game is frequent. Good hours and a easy job over all.
