The job has flexibility and good insurance benefits
Cons
Not well managed and pay raises not provided on an annual basis.
- Former Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
Not applicable- nothing to report.
Cons
Hydro refuses to adopt a WFH policy which restricts them from acquiring top talent. Middle management is often unnecessary and problematic. Compensation is below market rate. Employees are micromanaged, pestered, and disrespected on a daily basis. Promotions are based on longevity at the company and not on merit. Employees can be reprimanded for inappropriate reasons. Turnover rate is increasing rapidly. Some managers are incapable of fulfilling their roles competently.

Pros
I have tried to think of some Pros and none come to mind.

Most of the employees at Hydro are 50+ years old. Many of the younger employees are jumping ship. Hydro cannot retain young talent because of its archaic management practices.

can stay here to gain experience to find better places.
Cons
In their "family" culture, family members will have an easy life, the hard parts will be left for the rest. when the company running ineffectively and need to maintain it and solve the bugs, they hire new sales and still keep all the easy money collectors, let them collect checks, and complain about hard workers. When (family) inspectors just relax when jobs are in rush, they ask an engineer to do it?!

A job. Dead end job.
Cons
Hydro will not buy any cutting tools for their machinists. Machinists are struggling in daily machining jobs, no tools. All front and no substance. You just going to waist your time.
