Eastern Municipal Water District

1. EMWD does not honor your state cert. You have to walk around your facility with the director, your supervisor, and your manager, answering questions about safety, mechanical issues, plant permits, treatment process, and so on, just to prove to them that you deserve to be paid at the level of your state cert. 

2. Not only do you not automatically reclassify when you get a higher level cert, you also have to work at EMWD for a minimum number of years before you can even request to reclassify. So you can come in as an OIT, get your grade II, and then have to wait for 2 years before you can even ASK to be CONSIDERED to be paid as a grade II.

3. Employees in management are usually not leaders, and they don't get training. Every now and then you get an employee promoted into management who is a natural leader, who really cares about their team, but a lot of times you get someone who was full of themselves to begin with, and then they think their management position makes them God. Bad supervisors and bad managers make working here worse than it needs to be.

4. Toxicity. Bitterness between employees. Weird rivalries, but for some reason the rival employees are kept on the same crew. Management allowing political arguments and even engaging in them with employees. The human side of things in this department is just bad. 

Eastern Municipal water district’s collections department (sewer department) works four - 10 hours days and pays very well compared to the same position other places. BUT, this department is toxic. They will throw you to the wolves if they don’t like you. Management in this department is the worst I ever experienced. Everyone in this department is connected outside of work, so if you are not part of the circle, you will be in danger. Do not strive to succeed while in your probationary period in this department, people will feel threatened and push you out. And they can terminate you during this period for looking at them wrong and do not have to have reason. They claim they are family oriented, but this is false. You’re not allowed to have family during probation. This was the best job I ever had, but the worst group of people I had ever worked with. Please beware.

EMWD is an amazing company they help you grow in areas were you are struggling, they crate small goals to better your scores and work habits. They actually care about their employees. I've worked for different companies and i know that this place is somewhere i want to retire. They focus on customer service to make sure they answer all the customer questions. I usually get greta comments from customer and its due to how EMWD trained me. They Strive to provide World Class Customer Service.

I have worked in the water field for about two years I was a OIT for Eastern Municipal Water Districts at the Moreno Valley Regional Water Reclamation Facility I have a number of experiences with pipelines, chemicals, VFDs, assorted pumps, valves, meters, sample grabbing, lab testig, monitoring equipment such as turbidity meters, Dissolved oxygen meters. Co-workers were nice and helpful.

Eastern Municipal water Districed is a company that i enjoyed working for, I grew and learnd alot working for this company. I am confident that this company would hire me again but under my circumstances of being out of state i am not in the position to accept. great Pay and a wonderful retirement plan.

Great company with much opportunity for growth and advancement. Very friendly employees and good culture. I loved working with this company really felt like I belonged and it felt good. Managers were friendly and professional with so much character. Never felt micromanagement as long as I was being professional and honest.

I loved my job! This place was an exciting place for me. Found out so much about the sewer system and how we recycle the water. I was the plant managers right hand man. The people were always happy to come to work and be productive. We would always get things done in timely manner and do them well.

This place has good pay but The toxic work environment is super unhealthy. The safety is even worse. They claim to be one of the safest companies, but it’s just all on paper. They don’t care about their employees at all. Your a  just number. If you complain about something that’s unsafe or wrong you’re fired.

I enjoy coming to work everyday knowing there's work to be completed and never a dull moment.  Can help others,, learning something new,  a variety of work and working with an exceptional department.

All around excellent place to work!  Supervisor's are trained well for interaction with employee's.  Give you opportunities to learn and grow.  No micromanaging, however encourage questions and never demeaning behavior.
