Pros

I have worked at Caltrol for 10 years before retiring at the end of 2023. Today’s Caltrol is quite different than it was ten years ago and is currently managed by a very competent team. It’s always been a great place to work. Today the culture is one of empowering everyone to succeed. As employee owners AND because we all share our success via profit sharing bonuses, everyone is vested in contributing to everyone’s success. It’s easy to commit to long term employment at Caltrol as demonstrated by many employees having been there a very long time. Talent is recognized and all employees are valued and nurtured.

Cons

As a sales channel serving many industries Caltrol is not immune to challenges that occasionally rise due to market, economic climate, supply chain issues, or other factors that affect the market they serve and the business environment as a whole. They are however well diversified and have managed to consistently do well even during challenging times as demonstrated by consistent sales growth and business results.
