Pros

I have been with Caltrol for two great years! I’ve had the opportunity to take on new challenges and grow both personally and professionally. I genuinely feel cared about and supported by my co-workers and leadership. Our culture is one of open communication and collaboration. I am comfortable sharing ideas and feedback and feel my contributions are valued. Because Caltrol cares about work-life balance, I have a flexible hybrid schedule. It is a really nice mix of working from home and going into the office. Working at Caltrol also fills me with a sense of purpose. As a recruiter, I have the privilege of connecting with a diverse range of individuals. It’s incredibly rewarding to match candidates with roles where they can thrive and contribute meaningfully. I love knowing that the work I do has a direct impact on someone’s career journey while being able to contribute to Caltrol’s goals. Caltrol is an ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan). We are all employee-owners. We are eligible for free company stock and Quarterly Profit Sharing (quarterly bonuses) on top of a 401k with a company match. We also offer some non-traditional benefits such as legal insurance, pet insurance, tuition reimbursement, professional development assistance, wellness benefits, and a student loan repayment match program. I am personally utilizing the student loan repayment match program. I do not have to worry about my student loans being paid!! I have also been able to take advantage of our professional development assistance by attending conferences, seminars, continuous learnings, etc. The wellness benefit is amazing! Caltrol reimburses you up to $500 p/year to spend on your wellness. The best part about Caltrol is our people. We have some of the most talented, awe-inspiring, and supportive people. I feel a sense of belonging. Caltrol is my company. Caltrol is my home. I highly recommend Caltrol to anyone looking for a supportive environment where their contributions are valued.

Cons

I don't have any cons.

Pros

People are some of the best that I’ve worked with; people are helpful.

Cons

Management has a poor grasp on things and employees do not receive the proper support. Time commitment and travel is often greater than originally stated. Pay is not competitive to industry standard.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We genuinely appreciate hearing from our current and former employee-owners. We're happy to hear that your experience with other employee-owners was positive. However, we are sorry to hear that your experience with management did not meet your expectations. At Caltrol, we strive to foster a positive environment. Your concerns are important to us, and we take them seriously. We encourage you to reach out to our HR Department so we can discuss your specific concerns in more detail and work towards improvement. We are committed to creating an open dialogue and continuously improving our workplace culture. Your feedback helps us identify areas where we can do better. At the beginning of 2024, HR rolled out management / leadership training across the organization. Training will be ongoing. Also at the beginning of 2024, we implemented a compensation / market analysis project for all positions. This will also be ongoing as we strive to be a market leader. Thank you once again for your feedback. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors.
