Pros

The Employee-Owner concept and good benefits. They care about work-life balance.

Cons

Too much emphasis on Water/Wastewater with a view of other practices interfering with this practice.

Pros

Really sad to see the transformation that B&V has undergone. Heartbreaking to think about where this company was only a few short years ago. The optimism, sense of ownership, self accountability, and comradery was in such a great place. Unfortunately, that has really changed over the last few years and the culture has really flipped upside down.

Cons

High performers are leaving and taking folks with them. The company cannot backfill positions fast enough and folks are feeling overloaded and undersupported. Many people no longer feel connected to the work they do or the impact it makes, they are just trying to make sure they scan their badge in and out with enough time in between so they don't get in trouble for not meeting the return to office mandates and they end up on the reports the company runs to track employees. Feels as though people are just trying to not do anything too go so they don't end up getting more work piled on them and don't do anything too bad so as to just not get fired. Really sad to see!
