Great company to work for, with a great team, in a great location - Synoptic Marine Meteorologist bei Weather Routing: Mitarbeiterbewertung

If you enjoy hands on forecasting and working directly, one on one with clients, then Weather Routing can offer you a lot. The company continues to grow, and has been adding and hiring for numerous positions. If you show interest in moving up in the company, there is room to do this. I've enjoyed moving up in the company in the 20 years I have worked here, from a junior forecaster to an operations manager, and this is the kind of work that I have wanted to do since I was young. The work has real world impacts here as we keep our clients and their property safe. No two days are the same and you won't be bored. This is a good work-life balance and the company was very accommodating when I had several medical issues to deal with. Benefits, bonuses, health insurance, and retirement contributions are top notch. There's a great team to work with who are all passionate about marine weather forecasting. If you have suggestions for new products or techniques, management is always open to listening to them and implementing them if practical. The company also provides social opportunities like ski nights, hockey nights, bowling nights, etc. Finally, living in the Lake George-Saratoga region is terrific - there's so much to do, like skiing, hiking, biking, entertainment, restaurants, access to major cities, etc - I believe that this is one of the best places in the country to live.

There are definitely active days due to heavy weather events where there is a lot to do to keep our clients safe. Having good stress management skills can help deal with this, but this is where we shine with our best work, and this is a part of being an operations meteorologist. Management recognizes the hard work put in during these times and rewards accordingly.

None that are worth mentioning as many of the cons outweigh the pros.

This place is a prison, run. Management is an absolute joke, you can preach your concerns and suggestions to them until you’re blue in the face and no one will listen to you. Raises and bonuses are given seemingly based upon favoritism, with no actual set of evaluations or scale used which leaves many hard workers confused and frustrated. They say you are compensated for overtime hours with annual bonuses, but bonuses have now become less frequent with the long and mentally taxing overtime hours still expected amongst all. It is emotionally and mentally exhausting to be employed here. There are few people in upper management who will actually hear your concerns, but most spoken concerns are dismissed at the director level never reach the president of the company, therefore many things remain unchanged. It appears as tho much of this company was built on favoritism and who will drink the juice of those who run it, anyone who voices a difference of opinion or feels discouraged by the workplace are repeatedly dismissed or reprimanded by not receiving bonuses/raises.
