RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Thames Water full-time (More than a year)
Pros
Employer pension contributions double what you put in, good enhanced pay policies e.g. absence and family. Time to give volunteering opportunities. Genuine desire to put the customer at the heart of decision making and be custodians of our environment.
Cons
IT is getting there but current internal systems mean a lot of manual, time consuming workarounds

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at Thames Water full-time
Pros
Company benefits such as perk box. 4on 4off.
Cons
Promotions only given to people that are best friends with the management, childlike behaviour very prominent, makes it a dreadful place to work in. Resembles a high school playground. 12 hour shifts with only two 30 minute breaks. Can't be a second late or you get an earful.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI have been working at Thames Water full-time (More than a year)
Pros
Work flexibility. Great ground workers ( people working in their sites)
Cons
Highly inefficient. Layers and layers of unnecessary bureaucrats trying everything to keep their non- effective posts. The company is lost on their millions and millions of reports, reports of a report, wasting precious time. Refusing to use modern ways of working. Equality of opportunities and treatment is very obscure.
Advice to Management
If you practice what you preach... you might become a good company. I am glad that my water is provided by the competition. Unfortunately I cannot recommend the business to anybody.

RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Thames Water full-time (More than a year)
Pros
Flexible; average length of time at company is 12 years
Cons
Distinction of benefits between management level and non - management level; such as bonuses, private medical, car allowance, car parking priority
Advice to Management
As part of 'One Thames' everyone from CEO (ML1) to level 9 should have same set of benefits
