Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo Opinion of CEOI worked at United Utilities full-time
Pros
Pay and annual bonus are good. Maintenance and Operational staff are great.
Cons
Everyone is out for themselves, People are fake and cannot be trusted. Senior Management doesn't have a clue what is really going on. Money is lost at every turn for numerous wrong decisions and results long term in redundancies, which occur once or twice a year so you cannot feel safe. They do not value long term staff or staff with knowledge. It is a boys network, or a who you know network. Senior Managers put friends/allies in place which leaves people in place who haven't got a clue. The place is falling apart and staff are extremely unhappy.
