Managing Your Health

Watterson Environmental Group wants you to stay healthy, manage your medical needs, and if you do get sick, help you to get better fast. After 60 days of full-time employment, our Medical Insurance Plan provides comprehensive coverage and allows you to choose a provider within our large Network. And that’s not all – the Plan also provides a Prescription Drug Program that enables you to fill prescriptions at most local pharmacies. You pay a portion of the premium for both of these benefits – the company pays the rest.
We love to see you smile (as do our clients). Our Dental Insurance Plan is designed to encourage good preventative care to help you maintain a healthy smile. A Vision Insurance Plan rounds out the medical insurance benefits from Watterson. Again, you pay a portion of the premium for this benefit - the company pays the rest.
AFLAC supplemental insurance is available to our Associates.
Nobody likes to be ill, so the company provides three days of accrued paid Sick Leave when personal or family medical needs require you to be away from work.

Balancing Your Work and Personal Life

You will love our work environment, but we all need some time to relax. Watterson Environmental Group offers company-paid Vacation which accrues at up to two weeks per year in your first year with the Company.
Eight paid Holidays are observed each year.
Bereavement Leave of up to four days without loss of pay is available in the unfortunate event of a death of an immediate family member.
While a company our size is not required to meet the Family Leave and Medical Act requirements, Watterson does offer unpaid, job-protected leave for up to four weeks for you to attend to eligible personal and family medical needs after one year of employment.
Flex time allows you to schedule your work day to meet personal and business needs.

Providing Peace of Mind

Basic Life Insurance provides a $20,000 benefit for your family should something happen to you.
Direct Deposit for your biweekly pay means you don’t have to worry about getting to the bank.
The Company promotes an Open Door atmosphere whereby Associates can talk freely with everyone. We are sincerely interested in our Associates’ success and happiness with the Company. We, therefore, welcome the opportunity to help Associates wherever necessary.

Recognizing Your Performance

Did you say, “Show me the money?” Watterson Environmental Group’s business philosophy is to provide opportunities for our associates to earn additional compensation when your, and the company’s, performance goals are met.
We want to develop our future from within with Internal Promotions. Associate skill development is important to us – so we encourage our associates to participate in Courses or Seminars of interest to the Company and them, on the Company’s nickel. We value Company loyalty and celebrate Company Anniversaries.

Planning for Your Future

After 90 days of employment, Watterson’s 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan allows full-time associates to invest any amount of their pay on a pre-tax basis (up to the IRS maximum) to accumulate savings for future financial security and retirement. When you save for the future, Watterson Environmental Group matches up to 4% of your salary toward the 401(k), with every paycheck. And vesting is immediate!

We encourage our Associates to challenge themselves by developing their talents, skills and knowledge, which in turn, will benefit not only them but our clients.
