Chew you up and spit you out. High promises with little results.

Pros

Compensation was fair and benefits were average.

Cons

Training was too short for expected results. Not enough feed back from supervisors as far as performance is concerned. Very poor communication between supervisors and techs. Will terminate with no warning and give no reason. Not even HR can tell you why your being dismissed. Overall a very disappointing experience and a very disappointing company.

Thank you for your feedback. We regret that you were disappointed with our company. We regularly coach our managers to provide ongoing feedback to team members, but there are occasional times when we discern that our company is not a good fit for individuals and we encourage them to find success in other places. We continuously develop improvements to our training program for best results. Many of our training/process improvements have come from direct feedback from our team members, so we appreciate your comments. Additionally we provide supplemental training when requested (usually in a specific area of need).

Pros

I love my job. They give you the freedom to find your own specialty. They are very customer focused and very ethical. If you have a recommendation for an improvement they are very open to change. They also focus on R&D to bring new products to the market. If you are looking for a solid customer focused career CaptiveAire is for you.

Cons

Since this is so customer focused you will be deeply involved in every project. Be prepared to help even if it’s not your expertise.

Pros

Too many pros to list all of them. Pay is good, bonuses are good, lots of job satisfaction, everyday is different, really enjoy my colleagues, enjoy the work, enjoy the flexibility.

Cons

Paid Time Off rate is really slow. Vacation can feel discouraged sometimes. And in a lot of positions you can never really take off. We work during vacations and weekends all the time to stay caught up. Raises appear to be strictly based on performance with no annual cost of living raises. This is a bummer when you see how well the company is doing but they won’t give a cost of living raise. Sometimes not meeting a goal has no reflection on job performance. Starting to see a lot more corporate speak and policies. Please don’t punish everyone in an effort to keep a few in line. This kind of mentality can kill morale overnight. I’ve seen it happen.
