Pros

Caltrol is an employee-owned company - such a luxury in this day! I am very fortunate to be an owner of Caltrol knowing that I am saving for retirement AND the company contributes too!!!! The people that work here are fantastic!!--and know what they are doing!! they take pride in their work and are very helpful. there are also company wide activities - bbq's, pot lucks, and always something going on. - it's a great team!!!! The management is open-door and willing to listen to you AND they listen!! They are very helpful and always looking for improvements. Benefits are awesome. floating holidays, a great time-off program and the medical benefits are very competitive in this market! I am proud of being a part of Caltrol!

Cons

I can't think of any!

Thank you for your feedback. One of Caltrol's core values is Excellence through a culture of continual improvement. Caltrol is exploring ways to improve communication up AND down the chain of command. We are currently making changes to the role of the ESOP Committee to be this voice of the people and express these types of concerns to Caltrol's leadership team, up to and including the President. The goal is to have an outlet for our employee owners to express these opinions and be a part of the improvement process.
