South East Water Reviews

Pros

Great work family, manager who is very supportive and a variety of departments

Cons

Well being can generate good ideas, but these are not always implemented or continued

Pros

Decent salary, some lovely areas to work in. Company vehicle keeps travelling costs down.

Cons

Poor work/life balance. Very poor reward and recognition. Speak a lot of upholding good mental health and family values but put nothing into practice outside of head office. Not flexible. Expected to work 1 weekend day in 5 for free. Work different time shifts on call but not recognised as shift workers. Company say on call hours are not working hours but expect them worked like they are. Hide behind staff council and force through poorly thought out working policies. Regularly blame lower banded staff for continued management failings. No extra money for covering strangely high absence through sickness of lower banded staff. No extra money for working outside of rota to help in times of increased demand or poor weather. Threaten with disciplinary way too often to scare workers into conforming. Pile more and more responsibility onto lower banded workers to hide poor management for no extra money or reward. Ignore low staff morale. High management staff turn over. 8 different managers in 9 years. Too many management tiers. Management dont listen.
