Waters Corporation Compensation Employee Reviews

What is the best part about your compensation package?

I like my Health Insurance

The Overall benefits are good

amazing healthcare at affordable rates

it is clearly described, advantagious

Review from Engineering Dept

I am not sure so far

Paid on par with similar indistries

491k match is best benefit

Flexibility and Five weeks vacation

the lowest pay among the same type of companies

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

No long term incentive and short term incentive

They value the fresh PhD graduates. Mind you, just because you are a PhD grad does not equate you are good in lab instrument maintenance. You are only good with that field you study but not overall.

Having a viice at the table.

Company offers 1-3% annual pay increases if you're lucky (unless they are taking money from you during COVID). They'll brag about record profits and growth, but don't share it with the people who got them there. Start sharing the $$ in a fair equitable way.

Because Waters medical insurance is not best, I have never enrolled. When started at Waters, those employees who did not take the insurance, received a small stipend. Waters stopped stipend quite a while ago. Employees who don't take Waters medical insurance should receive a stipend.

The workload never slows down and now they're having trouble finding people who actually want to work there. Paying your dedicated employees for their extra efforts would be a great start, but instead the company has actually taken money from me during COVID (as they report record profits).

Minuscule raises every year while completely ignoring inflation is just corporate greed. People will never feel valued until you change your ways.

Progression in the company. Overseen by people that have an idea of the day to day runnings. Legitimate pay rise structure. Legitimate bonus schemes.

Review from Engineering Dept

Better pay and benefits. Employees under 15 years were given more vacation time while those who have been there longer only have to look forward to 5 weeks at 20 years and nothing else after. The health insurance coverage is abysmal. Expect to pay out of pocket even with high copay.

Review from Engineering Dept

Waters is slow to promote (need to be part of the club) and give too modest yearly raises.

Pay is much lower than comparable jobs, no stock or bonuses

Review from Engineering Dept

Higher base and higher commission.

There is a pay gap. The salary increases of 2% , do not match real inflation, like rent, electric etc

pay raise\nStock options\n3 weeks vacation
