Stable/Reasonable Place to Work with Diverse Culture - Anonymous employee Waltonen Engineering Employee Review

Waltonen is a great place to work. Our team is diverse and has strengths in various areas allowing us to satisfy and maintain strong relationships with our customers. We have team members of all experience levels, from entry-level to senior employees. The environment is friendly and I enjoy coming to work. Overall, it is a great place to work no matter where you are in your career! The company is fair and really cares about the well-being of its employees. Recognition is not a given nowadays, so it is great to feel that our work here is appreciated!

The endless construction on Mound Road is my only complaint.

-Can be a simple clock in, do the work, clock out job if you get the right assignments and overseer. -Insurance coverage is quite good

- Really unpleasant environment for any neurodivergent or otherwise sound sensitive people. About 60 employees sit in a room together that is set up similarly to a classroom (everyone sits next to each other facing the same way). All conversations, meetings, phone calls, chewing, sniffling, whistling, etc. can be heard in all directions. -Tech is slow and can be frustrating to use -HR constantly emails reminding people about expected hours, lunch practices, dress code, etc. -Management for engineering is overbearing and tends to impede progress instead of enhance it (for engineering, design management seems to be fine) -No room for growth. There is essentially just one position available, do not expect promotions or raises. -Vacation time and sick leave is on the stingy side. 5 state mandated sick days available, require Drs note to use. Vacation starts at 1-2 weeks/year for new hires, does not automatically increase on a schedule (have not tried requesting an increase)
