Pros

ESOP - The stock price is going up

Cons

Management - they do not listen, gossip seems to be enough to change opinons. So if that one coworker decides they don't like you... good luck.

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.

Thank you for your valuable feedback. We are sorry to hear about your negative experience with onboarding. As an employed-owned company, everyone's feedback is crucial. We've brought on a new VP of HR and will be continuously working towards improving. In fact, we are in the process of rolling out new company trainings. Regarding benefits, we are working with a new broker and have just revamped our benefits. We also have a new Total Rewards Project Manager who is a Subject Matter Expert. At Caltrol, we pride ourselves on open communication. Please feel free to reach out to anyone in HR at anytime.
