Water Depot

What is the best part of working at the company?
Interacting with customers and helping them to find their best solutions for their home water needs. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Employee expectations were above the training level received (regarding water treatment equipment) 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It wasn’t good at all at times. There were some background politics I wasn’t made aware of.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I don’t work there any longer. Each day was varied

-Micro Managed by executives 
-Lack of leadership
-They provide little to no training 
-no 'real' plan in place by the executive team...often they are reacting instead of being proactive
-'Old School approach to dealing with employees
-Strong support staff
-Overall, the franchisees are great to work with
-No plan in place to grow the company

Successfully contributed to the startup and establishment of the Water Depot franchise store in Aurora.  Managed all aspects of instituting policies and procedures aligned to Water Depot’s franchise guidelines.  Built a solid reputation for delivering high-quality customer service.  Responsible for managing all daily management duties related to running a retail business

Ownership treats you like garbage, they show no interest in actually running the business, never around to ask questions or provide the necessary knowledge/ training to complete your job, When they are around they do nothing but complain about all the things that they aren't around to help you fix.

It was a laid back fun place to work until it changed hands and the current owner did everything he could to save a penny and made sure the store crashed and burned.

Friendly staff, trying to be as knowledgeable as possible but are certainly not given the time and training material to do so. I do not recommend working for a company who is discriminates against older applicants with manageable health issues, completely capable of doing every task that is asked of them.

Working in the store with customers and going to their homes to test water and find their needs to purify their water.
In the area we live in everyone needs a water softner, it was just basically working out the best product or price for the client.

Can get very busy, has some down time.  I learned a lot about helping people, how to handle tough situations.  Loved the people I worked with.  Learned a lot about managing staff.  Ordering inventory.  Stocking shelves.  Setting up appointments for service and installs.  Selling  very expensive items.  Month end reporting.  Dealing with irate customers.

This job taught me an extreme amount about reverse osmosis and alkaline water. I learned about iron filtration units and water softeners. I sold merchandise in the store such as water coolers, softeners, iron blasters, and reverse osmosis systems.

Water Depot was your typical retail job for sure but what made it worth it were the coworkers. The manager is the nicest person and the customers are friendly too.
