POOL WATER PRODUCTS

-Requires 100 to 400 miles of driving per day with 5-10 stops. Sometimes more. 
-Lifting 20-100lb per bucket/case at each stop. Sometimes you have to deliver pool heaters to difficult drop off locations. The hand truck provided can’t handle a lot of weight so the heaters were a pain to deliver
-Poor warehouse conditions. Rust piles and dust everywhere. Frequently saw cockroaches. 
-During pool season it’s very busy requiring overtime daily (7am-5pm or later) and working Saturday occasionally. 
Although it was nice getting paid overtime I still felt that the base pay of 14.25/hr was too low for the amount of driving and lifting on certain days. 
The position is advertised as “local” deliver driver but beware you will be required to drive as far as Visalia on some days.

Working at Pool Water Products was a great experience. You start your day off with making sure the warehouse is clean and the font is fully stocked. After you take care any customer that needs to be attended to in person or over the phone. The good thing about this job is you learn so much about pool parts and chemicals.  Management was very smooth never really gave anybody a hard time unless you didnt get your job done. Hardest part about the job was the pay it wasnt that great. The most enjoyable part was satisfying customers making sure they get and understand what they needed

A typical work day I would start off by checking all retail customers getting a shipment delivered.  First priority was making sure products were paid for before items got shipped out. PWP was an awesome place one of my best jobs I enjoyed and learned so much from shipping & receiving, accounting. Definitely a place to move up n make good money.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Environment… terrible!!
Culture… eh…

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Same stuff day in and day out. Nothing ever new!!

Full-time, weekends off, clocked out no later than 5 pm most the time. Overall, a family man's job. Very small team. I loved the freedom of delivering pool products to our clients and coming back to the job almost right before clocking out. Cool job man.

I was very comfortable working here, other than the pay. The delivery drivers- especially CDL- deserve better pay. The counter employees were paid fairly, but the management was definitely on the lower end comparatively. Very laid back work environment, which was nice at times, but leaves room for frustration as well with coworkers. If you don't know about pools when you start, they'll teach you and you'll pick it up quick. I loved my customers- you get to meet a lot of great people.

There are no benefits offered. If you like to be micro managed , then this place is for you. You get very little or no training. When you make a mistake you get talked to like your a small child being scolded. The turnover here is great. The customers even notice this. On Saturday you get to clean the place. Mop, vacuum, wash the trucks, clean the bathrooms, dust the counters and desks, wash the windows.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Can use cell phones at any time

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Sitting around with nothing to do

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Poorly managed and filthy environment 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Answering phones and communicating with customers that appreciate you

This company does a good job at training new employees, and promoting from within. The job security is great because you will not lose your job easily, and they have decent hours. The problem is management doesn't want to leave, so promotions are few and far between. Aside from that you can get a decent job with beginners pay starting around $10/hr. I would use this as a stepping stone job to get experience and then move on.

Where I worked, it was clean and centered in a nice park like setting.  Easy stress free job...but...10 hour shifts sometimes 6 days a week.
No advancement...wait until someones dies, then fight for that position to move up.  Work until you quit....that's it.  Most or all the employees have been there for 10 to 20 years....so new guys don't stand a chance to move up....the old guys are clinging to their jobs.
