Pros

Caltrol has lots of pros like an Employee Stock Ownership program where every employee earns ownership through their years of service. Years ago, Caltrol had organizational challenges and some average talent (like the 1970s Chicago Bulls), but now Caltrol is on a path to greatness with Steve Babensee at the helm. He's building strong teams and driving the organization towards excellence. Caltrol is drawing the best talent and building an unbeatable organization! This is the place to work if you're looking to be part of something that is impactful, doing meaningful work, and helps you grow professionally.

Cons

Depending on the role, you could be on the road a lot. The company has several business units and depending on your role, you may not interact with all groups. Each BU has it's own processes which can make it tricky to navigate the organization. Each year there are fewer cons as the company strives towards delivering the best results for its customers.
