California Water Service Reviews

Old company that still hasnt progressed. Lack of defined policies and or processes. Seems like these were improvised as issues came up. Career advancement is very limited and benefits are just average. It is absolutely terrible to have to wait 3 months for health benefits and 1 year for PTO. Never heard of such a thing until coming here. Severance package is a joke and is only given after 2 years of service. No bonus package for all regular employees. Longtime employees are worked to the ground so that executive officers can fatten their bonus and line their pockets. Constantly hiring contractors over FTE so that it is charged on capital projects and doesnt effect their bonus payout. Team morale is low and the root of the problem is at the very top. When comp time is not given at 1:1 and sometimes not at all, that sends a negative message that employees are not valued. You could work for an entire weekend and you'll be lucky to get a day off in return. You may get a $25 gift card and a pat on the back for your efforts.

The IT management needs to be revamped. Most of the people are super nice, but the IT management has a toxic personality that will make it miserable to work there as long as they are there. IT employees are scared and often bullied by their managers.
