Watts Water Technologies

Fast paced customer orders first organization in constant firefighting mode to deliver the product and meet the monthly sales goals are critical to the organization. Troubleshooting to find the easiest short term solutions to implement for the long term success of operations is critical to the business model.  Process and procedure is not as critical as finding a fix this moment to clear the obstacle versus long term solutions.
 
Plenty of money to invest in the facility versus returning to shareholders who will expect any gains to be repeated cycle after cycle - per statements made by the VP and CEO during their site visit.  This company has a long proud history of developing innovative solutions to provide safe municipal water through the products they offer.  They are standing on the shoulders of the geniuses that came before them and carry much of the same product lines that have existed for decades.   They are absolutely dedicated to public safety and for following the CDC guidelines for a safe and strongly encouraged vaccinated employment pool.  While they have struggled to retain their key technical talent across the organization their VPs have a strong vision of what they would like to see designed for the customer.  They offer the rates they feel are competitive enough to fill the positions they believe they need and while they do not have any real career or development paths for their employees they do offer a legacy style of top down direction for their employees to follow.  You can expect a great deal of accountability for fulfilling the expectations and vision of management without any tolerance for delays due to changing scope or discovery that might accompany the project introduced in the late stages of project execution.  With key leadership roles unfilled for months or even over a year you can expect to make decisions and drive the actions of your area of responsibility well beyond your job description. The experience you gain from working within this organization will likely be invaluable to your ongoing success in your chosen technical profession. 

Watts Water Technologies is a leading manufacturer and supplier of Water Control products for Residential and Commercial Plumbing applications.The majority of Watts' product lines are sold through Wholesale distribution channels but they also have a variety of products tailored to residential use that are sold through Retailers such as Hardware, Discount Clubs and some of the better known Big-Box chains.

There is a wealth of knowledge to be gained while employed at Watts Water technologies. As the Manager, technical Support, I had the privilege of recruiting, training and managing a very capable staff of four local Technical Service Representatives. Their experience as licensed plumbers and contractors was easily leveraged to provide an outstanding level of Customer Service and product support. Our responsibilities also included tracking Quality related information coming to us through customer contact and relaying that information along to Product R&D and manufacturing Engineering groups, as well as our Regional / National Sales Managers and our International Technical Sales and Service Groups.

Senior Management maintains their focus on Corporate Financial and Operations functions and has been very active in Acquisition strategies and Worldwide growth.

I'll give it to them. The people at this company are amazing....if they like you. If they dont' like you, they can be pretty vindictive. I just kinda steered clear of everyone. My work was never my home, and vice versa. 

Pay, to start, is alright. It's better than nothing. But, about a year into your job, you start doing more work. Taking on more workload, spending more hours, and that MIGHT qualify you for a 2.5% raise. Trust me, the work you do is worth SO MUCH MORE than what you're being paid. 

Work vs. Life balance is fine, to start. Once all of the workload got thrown onto you, they would call you in to work for any reason, during vacations, days off, etc. And you were expected to show up. 

Your job will be secure. Meaning you'll never leave the position you're currently in. There is no opportunity for advancement that would call for an increase in pay grade. You should expect to take a "position advancement", requiring more work, but be prepared for the "...this will be a lateral position change..." speech.

If you really like the place, and want to continue working there, you may be able to tell them you're quitting for a higher rate, and they will counter to try to keep you (if they think your work is worth it). I chose not to, because if I have to make arrangements to change jobs just to get a raise, I do not want to be a part of that company. That's just terrible business practice.

Every 4th month raises
when your are  union member!! Until you reach your cap.
Extremely high punctuality 

If your good what you do, you get a promoted quickly 
Management are alright until you behavior is bad of course 😅
Work, is heavy sometimes but when you know what you’re doing goes easy
Everyone has a role in this company 
Is to you to open that opportunity..
If you follow every detail and rules  and one piece flow. Nothing goes wrong and no one bothers you.
(Union)  ain’t so great must of the Union rep don’t know what they doing, we don’t get trained well and sometimes we make mistake
The company: is transparency and  fairly straightforward 
People are friendly and sometimes funny this’s almost your 2nd home “Workers”
Management different level you need to be professional with them of course but when you get to know them well  in one word” like family 
My enjoyable part is when I get paid on Wednesday 🤣
Parties are awesome, raffles, secret Santa, games  it depends on season and BbQs the best
Every day is a new day you keep learning, moving open positions is always time to move on different areas which at times is awesome cuz you don’t get bored doing the same things but sometimes if you shine in that area  forget it your be there until you get old lol 
There’s people their that worked for 45 yrs and some 25 yrs 
That’s all I can say..  and this is my opinion working here …


And there's stress on decent. They scatter people around in areas that aren't their job title so the pays never match what area your in. Youll work right next to someone who makes 16 dollars an hour doing the same thing as you as a permanent employee and still only make 13 dollars an hour. Makes no sense. The management sucks. No one is formally introduced. So you've got random people walking around bossing others around unsure of who's job title is what. They dont let you know you have to work weekends until Friday so there's no way to plan your life outside of work. They will 100% guarantee mess up your paycheck if you're not always on top of it so be sure to always check and calculate yourself because they are scam artists and steal money from their employees! Oh, I could go on but I'll end it here on one last note: They'll tell you you get 80 hours of PTO but that's a LIE and they'll sit back and let you use over the amount you have and then say something to you about it after there's no way to earn enough PTO to make up for the year. Then they'll do whatever they can to fire you so they can KEEP YOUR LAST PAYCHECK. Absolutely the worst company I have ever worked for so unprofessional and unorganized it's no wonder they're failing miserably.

Management does not care or value employees at all. There is no appreciation no matter how hard you work. If you are a dedicated employee you get treated worse. The attrition rate is all they worry about, trying to get new people in and forgetting about the people who have been with the company for years. For every 6 people that are hired 4 or 5 leave within weeks of starting that is a statement to how it is to work there. The Human Resources team does not care about any employee and anyone who works there will tell you this. There is no support from management and basically a feeling of helplessness when things go wrong. It's frustrating to go to work every day. If you say anything bad management always says "it's getting better around here" typical answer and completely untrue. They will never listen to the people on the floor and as such it will continue to go downhill. It's easier to turn a blind eye then to try to make it an "employer of choice". This company could employ so many people in this area and it is sad to see it falling apart. Listen to the employees in order to make it a better place! The more people that leave the harder it is on current employees until they walk out too. Management needs to fix this and quickly! Make it a great place to work again!

(San Antonio Location) It's a job though there are some issues that were never resolved in the time i was there or made worse. The work environment can be slow in the beginning of the month then heavy at the end of month/quarter/year due to work flow not being properly spread across the month possible due to multiple issues (Unknown if these issues has been resolved at this current year of 2022 ).  Co-workers are your average group of people that range from those you like/neutral/hate but most are still willing to work together to get the job done.  Holidays are festive with free meals during the holidays in celebration and this location does like to reward their workers for their work but it always felt like more of a friends contest as it's a team members only vote (excluded management). Though these are my experiences and observations with the company I cannot nor claim that this location still operates in this manner but I would not recommend working for Watts at this location.

Working at Watts Water Technologies provides a structured and steady work environment with a strong focus on safety, product reliability, and consistent production standards. The company emphasizes teamwork and expects employees to work efficiently while maintaining quality. Training is clear, and new hires are supported in learning their roles, whether in assembly, warehouse operations, or production. The workflow is generally repetitive, but this consistency can make the job easier to learn and perform over time. Management communicates expectations directly, and there are clear procedures for most tasks. The workplace culture is professional, and coworkers are typically helpful and cooperative. Opportunities for overtime are often available, depending on the department, and benefits are competitive for the industry. Advancement can be possible with time, good attendance, and willingness to learn new skills. Overall, it is a solid job for building experience in manufacturing, gaining steady income, and developing reliability and work discipline.

This job is completely awful, it’s a dead end with no future or personal growth. You do the same job  everyday, every hour, and you don’t rotate. All of your co-workers play on their cell phones all day and do well below the bare minimum. Management seemingly can’t be bothered to enforce any policies and is basically useless to you.  I’ve had more managers than years of service. Turnover is astronomical. There is zero joy in this facility whatsoever. I’ve never been made to feel so miserable at a job in my life. This place is really horrible. You are just a number here with no value no matter how much you do or care.

This is a TOXIC work environment where no one likes each other or gets along. Management will not help you if “You see something, say something.” The back stabbing and gossip is endless. Overtime is not given to everyone just the same few people continually.

You will 100% be lied to and be taken advantage of by your line leaders and supervisors for their incompetence.

This is a horrible place to work, I stuck it out for a long time before finally leaving. The overtime is never ending so forget having any free time. The overall moral is really low, you work like crazy and never get thanked or recognized for your hard work. Forget advancement, nepotism is the only way you can get ahead here. HR makes all the decisions as to who gets promoted so the Supervisors hands are tied. There are a few good supervisors but the majority of them play favorites. The pay raises are small and if your supervisor doesn't like you, they can choose not to give you one. I was railroaded out of this company by my new supervisor for that very reason even though I'd excelled at my job for years. I honestly can't think of anything good to say about this place other than I worked with a lot of good people on the floor who all felt the same way I do. Everyone is so unhappy but they all need a paycheck so they keep suffering through it.
