Horrible Company

Pros

The only good thing about this company was the paycheck.

Cons

First off I was misled on multiple subjects in the interview. Immediately was told if I did not comply to being on call for multiple states termination was the only option. If you enjoy driving out of state in the middle of the night and making it home in time to run calls the next day then this is the place for you. 80 plus hours a week plus on cal never ends. It is constant as this company does not hire enough staff in any one area to properly cover the service demands. You will be a number not an employee. There are no opportunities for advancement and favoritism is blatant.

Service tech

CEO approval

Pros

The only real benefit of working here would be the pay rate. The only reason they are willing to provide a high pay rate is due to the fact they can't keep service techs. Company van Dispatches from home

Cons

There are way to many to list. But to give a brief description of the top ones would be a lack of training for techs that have little to no refrigeration, small chiller and boiler experience. They provide what they had thought was quality training by sending an ASM to come out for 3 days and point out common errors with out properly engaging the tech to ensure he/she is understanding the fundamentals of what was going on. Instead he did the bare minimum and 3 days later in there eyes you're now a refrigeration expert. Horrible communication between the tech in the van and the people dispatching calls. Either they are understaffed and chasing the latest call that had come in or have you running in circles all day long. They really need to get a grip on the service areas they have and be able to plan a day effectively so the most calls and issues are addressed as possible. PM ADD work is a joke, I've never heard of a company that charges someone for 1 zip tie and considers that a acceptable pm add, replacing parts that have no issues to make sure you're meeting you're "quota" is absolute disgrace to any tech who had been in the field long enough and provides honest work. If you are reading this and have an interview and or thinking of applying please re consider, there are many other company's that can offer you so much more as far as benefits, pay, and work environment. Work life balance is a joke in the summer. Obviously we do service work but no organization leads to techs being overworked and resulting in the high turnover rate. And pray to god you have enough guys in the rotation for on call otherwise you will never be able to enjoy time for you're self or time with family/friends. All in all this company is one of the worst I've come across in the commercial field as far as taking care of the employee and provided training and assistance as needed. I would strongly advise re considering employment here and take you're services elsewhere if you value your time outside of work.

Found a home at CMS

Pros

CMS is very much like a family, we may not always get along, but we always work it out. I began as a technician working my way up to an Area Service Manager position. I'm able to work with technicians to spread my knowledge and experience. As a technician, I was able to work as many hours as I wanted once I felt I was getting overloaded and asked for a break it was given. During the winter months, my hours never went below 35 a week and my Area Service Manager at the time watched to make sure all the technicians hours were distributed evenly. As an Area Service Manager, I now follow the same train of thought to make sure my technicians hours are distributed evenly and they all have the opportunity to complete commercial installs along with new training opportunities. Here at CMS we like to have strong technicians capable of independent work, our management team isn't looking over your shoulder at every step of the day.

Cons

In the HVAC industry, the largest drawback will always be long days and some long nights in the summer season. But this is a sign of a successful company and you need to have those days. If you're not self-driven or motivated you could feel lost, without management there to guide you every move.
