Wastewater is a high risk job.  Not only for you, but also your family.  There are many diseases you can catch from sewage no matter how careful you are being.  And you can bring those diseases home.  Also, the smell is an issue.  Your car will start to smell of sewage.  What you keep in your car will start to smell of sewage.  And all this for pay so low that you can't even afford to live on your own in the area.  Also, sick pay is terrible.  There's unlimited sick time, which sounds nice, but isn't.  It will pay you up to 40 hours of pay, but because of all the forced overtime and holiday pay, you are incentivized to work sick.  If you work a half day of overtime and call out sick for a full day, that half day was worked free.  If there was a holiday, and you call out sick, you don't get sick pay because of the holiday pay making it 40 hours of pay.  This company doesn't care about the employees because they accept the high turnover.  They don't care about fair pay or working conditions to keep employees.

Day-to-day operations of different municipalities Wastewater pumping facilities you could work in between one two three different times each day the job was different every day it was pretty much straight forward. This position requires after hours and emergency response 24/7. Company vehicle and tools cell phone and laptop or provided.

My time spent with the company was split 50/50 in the field and in the office. I was a first year co op and learned a great deal of the industry.

The people were really good to work with and while in the field I had ample exposure to a variety of engineering services.

In the office however I often had insufficient work to keep me occupied and monotinous work to perform. This however is also due to it being my first professional experiance and I did not have many skills to beggin with.

I have been at Weston & Sampson in Peabody, Ma for almost 4 years. The work/family balance is wonderful for me with three kids. I could not work without it. I work in a team that works well together. We collaborate and support each other.It is a very comfortable environment to come into.The projects we get are varied, so never boring. I am also one of the few people doing exactly my job, so I feel extremely valued.

Awful management, can’t do anything in the field therefore they were promoted to management, starting with “head electrician” who can’t bend a piece of conduit to save his life. Runs liquidtight like its an extension of his arm. Hack who doesn’t know how to manage any projects or planning, just runs around with a blindfold on yelling about how “great Gloucester is”. Just an awful manager whose an even worse electrician.

Nice friendly attitude in the Boston office the other all seem the same everyone is friendly and willing to help if you need it. Work is enjoyable can become stressful if you let it get to you but the curve of stress to low stress times are enjoyable the higher ups a decent at reward on occasions of slow times right after stress times.

Company has a good work culture along with flexibility. They fund trainings and offer the ability to work in a remote environment. The tasks and assignments were a good experience for any entry level position. People in management could be doing a better job with helping and training the newbies. Co-workers are friendly and offer help when approached. 

Coming from a much larger company, Weston & Sampson is a great size and each employees' contributions count. Work is fast paced but managent is realistic and works to support staff.

Low key low pressure day to day job environment.  Lots of time to do your work. Company has lots of contracts with many different municipals, your going to be on call .little supervision .

This company is great, they actually respect you as a person. The primary downside was that they didn't really have a lot of assistance available or a procedure for onboarding which was helpful to learn how to do things. They need to improve there training drastically.
