WaterFurnace International

There is an overall hostile work culture that goes from the production floor up to the CEO. Everyone is against each other with meaningful collaboration very seldom. There are projects that are drastically far behind because no one can work together. When things go wrong the blame falls on whoever does not yell the loudest. There has been a near 100% personnel change in Admin over the last half decade, with the change being threefold at this point. They preach a kind and caring work environment every chance they get, but will come after you with ferocity if you ever go against the grain. Disability compensation is nonexistent. If you ever have any sort of emergency happen in your life, then expect it to come back at you with HR. The VP changes non-stop. You will spend the majority of your day in mandatory meetings that go nowhere, then be yelled at by those who organized those meetings on why you never got to do any of your daily work. 

Working here has been the worst experience of my career. There are no leaders, but rather managers that serve as boat anchors holding back the growth and success of employees. There is a blatant refusal to embrace change and encourage critical thinking or problem-solving. VPs who should have retired a long time ago are doing a disservice to the organization and teams that report to them. It is commonplace for employees to perform no more than the tasks outlined within the job description unless explicitly asked or directed otherwise. Specific departments like HR have seen complete turnover twice, and no one appears to be concerned with the qualities of those VPs. 

If you are looking for a place that will provide you with no purpose, excitement, or challenge, where curiosity, ambition, and drive are deterred, and where the bare minimum is accepted, you found the right place.

I was the Toolroom Senior Machinist and fabricated all the Jigs and fixtures for the assembly lines. In addition, I made machine parts on the mill & lathe to replace worn or broken tooling on the various machines. Many times an OEM replacement  part would be subject to long lead times causing a machine to set idle. I would make the replacement part from a sketch, a print or a sample part. The company provided me with every tool I needed to get the job done.

From the VP of HR, to the Plant Manager they were the best. I retired from there in November 2025. Would highly recommend the place to anyone.

A typical day for me involved seeing, talking to and emailing with my customer base. Working with my customers was a the best part of my job. The problem is that management kept changing and there were too many people to report too and they always were looking for reports. I did learn a great deal about working with people and work related politics. The workplace culture was quiet and uncomfortable when we were required to have meetings at the company. The Regional Manager (my direct boss) was very helpful and we were very friendly. The hardest part of my job was dealing with irate customers that had every reason to be upset due to the company policies as well as the the company politics.

60 hours a week, overtime is mandatory. One day off a week. Employees are toxic and most don’t do their job at all, employees are rude and don’t care about helping out others. Management is pathetic and doesn’t care about the well being of any of the employees, and management hardly ever shows up. Management is fake and acts like they care but they only care about the money being brought in. Equipment is extremely outdated and will not be replaced. Turn over is quite high which makes things worse. Some people do multiple jobs whiles others only do a fraction of a job. Avoid this place. You’ll be lied to in the interview.  

Is very easy and very laid-back, mainly because nobody really cares including management. The pay is a little below average but there is a tremendous amount of overtime. I can almost guarantee 60 hours a week Monday through Saturday unless there is Parts shortages. This is a great job for someone just starting out in the job industry that is also single, but if you have a family and want a social life this is not the place for you.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The job I performed. The people are nice also.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
There really wasn't anything stressful about it.


What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very laid back. Sometimes can be faced paced sometimes slow. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I did final wiring. I loved it. I wired as many machines as possible for that day to try to hit our quota.

There are great people who work there. There are people who should not even be there. Take a good look and you will see. It is a place I would go back to and work. People made it feel great and smile. They also do Pizza or something every rare moon for lunches. Ten hours shift with four breaks. One lead is easy to talk too over another. There are people that make it feel like a family and will ask how your day been. Over all the place has working to do but can't change what you can't see. Wish one day I could return. 

Best in class manufacturing company.  Great leadership and work life balance!  Awesome training classes.  Culture is great.  I was in a Beta job with little foundation for longevity and never felt insecure about my job.  WaterFurnace values the employees and it shows.  I would definitely work there again if given the opportunity!

Asked key questions n was lied to , asked people who were working there for 16 years n they only were making 16 bucks an hour no way was I gonna stay at a fasted pace 12 dollar an hour job  , people were very nice for the most part but job way to stressful too many things to learn and not enough pay
