Boasts about being a great agency, executives lack accountability and treat employees like garbage - Anonymous Monterey One Water Employee Review

Pros

Projects such as AWPF, GWR, CSIP serve the community and are cool to be a part of. Co-workers are friendly, collaborative, attentive, and make it worth it. These people are the only thing keeping this review from being 1 star. Working here is seemingly a good resume builder.

Cons

upper-management is quick to blame employees for high turnover and everything else that's wrong with the agency, yet fail to acknowledge their own shortcomings and admit that their wrongdoings are what's contributing to employee dissatisfaction. Agency refuses to negotiate fairly with employees. Any complaints may as well go in the trash can. Upper-management boasts about the agency being the best due to our innovative projects, but is comfortable paying employees below-standard pay and act shocked when employees leave. Little opportunity to promote within agency as executives think hiring mid-management from outside agencies will "fix" everything, then act surprised when managers leave after a year or two of discovering what a dumpster fire this agency really is.
