Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. I am deeply troubled you believe the "HR department is ruthless and very hateful." The HR Department's goal is enhance our fellow employee owner's experience here at Caltrol. I'm sorry that we have failed in providing you, our internal customer, Best Solutions and Best Service. I am hopeful that things will improve, considering we have "Great employees and work atmosphere. Many hopes to grow as a company and employee owner."

Very poor management.

Pros

Pay and benefits were OK and this is an employee owned company (ESOP) so with time you could accumulate a good retirement.

Cons

Very poor management (closed door). Do not listen to their employees. Make decisions based on bottom line only! Lots of favoritism.

Thanks for this comment, at the time it was left, Caltrol was in the middle of a leadership transition. We again find ourselves in this situation of a change in leadership, and I am confident we are going to head in the right direction. I completely agree with your advice to leadership! It is GREAT advice!
