Pros

Caltrol has lots of pros like an Employee Stock Ownership program where every employee earns ownership through their years of service. Years ago, Caltrol had organizational challenges and some average talent (like the 1970s Chicago Bulls), but now Caltrol is on a path to greatness with Steve Babensee at the helm. He's building strong teams and driving the organization towards excellence. Caltrol is drawing the best talent and building an unbeatable organization! This is the place to work if you're looking to be part of something that is impactful, doing meaningful work, and helps you grow professionally.

Cons

Depending on the role, you could be on the road a lot. The company has several business units and depending on your role, you may not interact with all groups. Each BU has it's own processes which can make it tricky to navigate the organization. Each year there are fewer cons as the company strives towards delivering the best results for its customers.

Thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback! Being an Employee Owned Company means that we are all in it together! We too are excited about the direction Caltrol is taking towards excellence. Some of our positions do require a lot of time spent traveling, but we try to maintain a good work life balance.

Pros

I'm proud to be part of the Caltrol family, especially during the COVID-19 outbreak. Caltrol was able to get the entire organization switched over to remote work in a matter of hours. Leadership took the current situation seriously and worked hard to keep all of our staff safe and healthy. The virtual events have been great to keep us engaged and in contact with others in the office we may not work directly with.

Cons

None that I can think of at the moment.
