Used To Be Better - Anonymous employee Middlesex Water Employee Review

Middlesex’s benefits used to be significantly better as well as their raises. Now it’s pretty much market rate. There used to be a pension but now the new employees don’t get that. They got rid of the shared cost of the health benefits upon retirement. It just seems every year something new is taken away. The lack of commitment to employees leads to most of the younger generation leaving which stinks because every time you turn around you need to train someone new. They’re losing a lot of people to other companies mainly because it’s not union and the salaries aren’t comparable. People are leaving jobs and getting thousands more at other utilities. It’s rather politicized; it’s not really what you know, it’s who you know.
