Scottish Water Reviews

Pros

Salary - Pension - SW Splash - Holiday Entitlement

Cons

None that I can think of

Pros

Amount of annual Leave Interesting work Flexible working hours

Cons

Clueless team leaders Even more clueless managers The clueless managers hire people that they know they can manipulate as team leaders. The team leaders except 1 or 2 members of the team to do all of the work, and allow everyone else to do nothing. Then blame that member of staff when work is behind.

Pros

works pension and flexible working

Cons

No one cares about anything, especially managers. Too much money is thrown away to contractors who along with the managers just never seem to be accountable for anything. So full of their own praise in the 5% of things that go well but deny failure. You are deemed as negative when you point out the wastage of time money and effort

Pros

Flexible working, distance from home to work

Cons

High workload, not enough employees especially in operations. Salary less than U.K. average for job type and experience

Pros

Great people to work with

Cons

Far too much process and change

Pros

Pension, annual leave, job security, training opportunities, opportunities for travel around Scotland, modern offices (mostly), publicly owned company trying to do the best for Scotland and its environment

Cons

Advancement opportunities can be limited, pay not rising at rate of inflation so wage stagnation is common. Very outdated bonus structure, lots of people leave for private sector jobs with better pay. When I started there were a lot more away days/training opportunities and a more social aspect to the job - this faded away over time as the company stopped providing overnight stays etc. for away days and social events. The way pay is structured/administered means wage stagnation is common. It was also common for persons to be appointed into roles without due diligence on making the role available for internal/external applications, which is disappointing for the public sector.
