Pros
Medical, dental and vision benefits were good
Cons
The CEO doesn’t have a clue and the Detroit management (Regional VP) is even more clueless. None of the leadership knows how to turn the Detroit business unit around (Inland Waters Pollution Control). They shift blame from poor or no processes and poor leadership to the operations group and the project managers. Project managers are expected to run projects with a constantly shifting “schedule”. These “schedules” are just project names arbitrarily placed on a certain date, which is sure to be shifted to another date by the afternoon. There is such a high turnover and the remaining PM’s are over worked. One of them was working 16 hour days and submitted the largest invoice that business unit has billed ( because under this CEO, they were allowed to go over 2 years without submitting an invoice for work completed) and the PM was never acknowledged or praised. They hide the Detroit group under Puris Corp because Inland Waters has such a terrible reputation. Puris has owned Inland Waters for at least 3 years and this business unit is still a mess. Puris is also owned by a private equity company. The Detroit Inland Waters Pollution Control can’t be right-sided because the CEO interferes and derails progress. It’s like they’re so used to under achieving that the thought of being successful is frightening to the CEO and Regional VP. There is no diversity. If you can talk and say nothing, you’ll go far with this company. If you think you’re going to help change this business unit, don’t waster your time.
