Article I.	DAILY ACTIVITES
Section 1.01	Driving force

(a)	Work orders – Once a sales order is released I will receive notice from the engineer that the order is released and a date that they are banking to have it shipped. The work order is then generated by Beto who would in turn hand over the orders for me to stock check and verify what is needed. After which I will take the work orders to the shop for them to drive the production of Wet made parts. The purchase parts I place on Lorie’s desk.
(b)	Closing work orders have also made it into my hands. I check pending build assemblies to see which have been completed and or shipped. If any fit in these criteria’s I close the order. If I see that dates have overlapped; I change the date to a further time in which the order doesn’t show vacancy. 
Section 1.02	Wet Care Orders
(a)	Wet Care has orders that are brought up in a meeting on Tuesday’s and Thursday’s. They do not all have work orders but they have been requested by vendors and current clients. Those request generally take presidents unless told otherwise. When orders are requested I perform stock checks and what I do not have I compile a list for Purchasing to order and for the Machine shop to make. 

Section 1.03	Kanban 
(a)	I start by creating a bill of materials. To know that I have all that is needed in stock I first have to see how the device functions. So I go to the drawings and step by step build a list using each drawing as the driving factor of what is needed. I keep it in a systematic order in line with the build cycle. After I make this list in excel I print copies of each drawing and locate the items. I have set up an area where each part belongs and then I stock those items in those locations. Once this is done I take pictures of each and put those pictures into a form I’ve made to generate Kanban cards for ordering these materials. Once this is done I keep up with the inventory making sure of what I have in stock and what I have given to the line for assembly. 
(b)	Inventory adjustment is also done in QuickBooks. I had a team put together to count all that is in stock and then compiled the list into an excel form to locate duplicates and then eliminate them by adjustments after which I took that list and entered it into quickbooks with the help of our team. 
(c)	Presentation, I had to make and maintain a presentable inventory. Keeping the items visible and accountable. 
Section 1.04	Assembly/ Engineer

(a)	Maintain a constant flow. I keep materials in their hands by projecting build cycles. I report build cycles to upper management to prioritize which job takes presidents. I then move forward accordingly. I look for aspects where I can make improvements and do those as well. 
(b)	Support is one of the most import roles I have. I continue to answer their call in regards to whatever issue may come up. I help our engineers in finding alternative solutions for current and upcoming builds. I work with machinist in regards to materials that are made. I speak with engineers whenever there are questions that are not answered in either work order drawings or work instructions. 
(c)	I support my team whenever issues happen on our side and no one has the time to gather the information or solutions. I help with reorganizing when it is noted that things are out of line. I help instruct when there is uncertainty with a feature that I know about. I respond to the call and move when it is needed.

My job at WET was satisfying because I was trusted to do my work, and I was able to be creatively free. The work you do is also very engaging and fulfilling (if you're in design/engineering). The main pitfall is that management really has something to be desired. They work reactively instead of proactively and hold many counter-productive views which actively stifle development and cost them way more than is necessary. They have terrible money issues as a consequence which will leave you asking for your 9 overdue bi-weekly paychecks. If you want a secure job this is not the place for you. It truly is a shame because so many amazing people work there. Only if management was better.

Great place, fantastic ideas. Working in the model shop I got to work the 3D printing machines and laser cutter. The projects were fantastic and we had a great design team. I was hired with 30 years experience working with at least four of the employees including the boss of the dept. So he knew my talent as a model maker with my expertise in resin casting, mold making, vacuum forming. (many a time I had to build my own special system to shape plastics. Was able to work in clear resins for making water effects for the models. A lot of hands on to make the models look alive for the client. Also got to paint the models with stone textures, a talent I learned in the film industry making movie models. The model shop was great to work in and the attitude was very professional.


For the number of years I have worked for this company, it’s ridiculous how selfish all the employees of this place honestly is. First, they won’t voluntarily train you. Second, when they finally train you (because they have no choice), don’t expect it to be done in an appropriate way. And third, they belittle/bad mouth you.
I’m referring to the older ladies (but act like children). They’ll make sure to give you a difficult time and will never sincerely praise you for the job you do. And for some reason they always have something mean to say about you and everyone else in Spanish and just never know when to stop. The point I’m trying to make here is how unprofessional, unethical, and egocentric the employees of this workplace is.

They will make you feel like family in reality it’s not a family, and friendly environment they don’t pay you on time, and some times don’t even pay employees on time, makes them work for free, and when you keep asking to get paid on time, or to keep getting paid they will lay you off, and tell you it’s because of budget cuts sometimes goes with out a month of being paid wondering if you will get paid, and sometimes delays 4 to 5 even 6 checks would not go back to work for this company they pay you high amount, and make you work 10 hours to not get paid on time, and makes you wait for your hard working money that you deserve on time I would rather work in a grocery store and get paid less and on time then to work for free

WET Design is a dynamic, contempo very engaging design / engineering firm. It has become known worldwide for its spectacular, innovative water features aka 'dancing waters.'
As an employee, there is a warm ambiance and connectedness which emanates from the top. Mark Fuller, the founder and CEO sets the pace for that and involves employees in much of what the company is doing.

Interesting Company, interesting technology.  One of the few places where you can see the entire design and build process completed in months instead of years which gives engineers a chance to witness and be involved with the entire life cycle of components.

Unfortunately, the boom and bust nature and expectations of performance lead to extremely high turn over among engineers.  Ends up being a great place to be fired or laid off from.

Working at WET design is like no other.  This company believes in open Studio environment to create excitement and bring out the best in everyone for designing World class Water Features.  Their projects and visions are absolutely superior and unique.  This company was very generous, at least when I worked there and make you feel comfortable and relax.  My experience a WET will never be forgotten!

WET is a great place to work however the company is project based so it can be cyclical when it comes to job security. Lots of layoffs and turnover due to the company continuously hires and lays off individuals which leads to no job security. Fun environment, pay is awesome and great company culture but the hardest part is wondering when your layoff date will come because it will.

Management is nonexistent.
Worked there for about two weeks and never knew my name. Layed off the next day.

Training is especially bad. Sticking with someone and feels like you are a burden.

Layoff is extremely high.

Work is easy. Pay is decent. But co workers are wierd and give you looks if you are not part of their inner circle. I only knew one manager who was nice. Everybody else doesn't care about you.

I never felt welcomed and never excited getting out of bed to work here.

Beware all.
