Thames Water reviews about "bonus"

HR have no clue what they are doing. Would rather employ on 'diversity' rather than merit. In Engineering this simply does not work. They think they know what is right for the business, but simply do not understand the needs, and qualities that makes a good engineer, a good engineer. I honestly can't think how they fill their days with actual work. They'd rather put forward candidates for positions on EDI qualities that fundamentally don't matter, instead of based on their personal and technical abilities in the field. There is also reluctance to give pay-rises for good work, merit, and loyalty. People will simply leave the business. How else is all the work going to be delivered next AMP without good engineers? HR are too focused on EDI Hiring than actually finding good engineers that would be suitable for technical roles. No bonus scheme for lower grade (and the majority) of employees. A bonus scheme was promised a number of years ago as part of a pay deal with the unions, but has been avoided being mentioned when pay discussions come around every year. Another problem caused by HR incompetence yet again.

Not much incentives such as Christmas parties or bonuses

The job isn't for everyone and can be draining due to the constant negativity dealing with customers on the phone The working hours are not great as you need to switch schedules every week and can make it hard to organise life outside of work High turnover and micromanagement

Very busy Massive work load Little/no pay bonuses Can be very confusing Little/no progression

no performance based benefits/ bonus, no promotions

• Pay could be better, not consistent across departments • The job is hard, there is no getting around it for the agents, the specialists and the managers, but it is really rewarding. • Public transport links are poor.

Majority of workers do not get the benefit of a big bonus Poor management and HR - issues with pay increases and false promises etc Unless you are at the top of the food chain no perks with cars, healthcare, dental High work related stress - middle management under extreme pressure all the time Cuts cuts cuts and more cuts effecting every area

No bonus due to financial issues
