Pros

Nothing comes to mind as a 22 year veteran

Cons

The company made an agreement with employees that we could work in new ways under an anytime, anywhere, anyplace approach to getting work done. We began this journey in 2019 well before the pandemic. We were offered plenty of opportunity to create incredibly flexible work schedules and had an amazing work-life balance and this year will achieve our highest revenue ever. Many of us changed our lives to work in these new ways. Then a new outsider CEO took over in late summer and he has started dismantling this amazing culture with a decision made mostly at the top and with the disagreement of many employees by mandating we work in the office three days week. This is very disappointing and I turned in my resignation today as this is just the start of a new command and control way of working and not trusting employees.

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.
