Pros

I'm proud to be part of the Caltrol family, especially during the COVID-19 outbreak. Caltrol was able to get the entire organization switched over to remote work in a matter of hours. Leadership took the current situation seriously and worked hard to keep all of our staff safe and healthy. The virtual events have been great to keep us engaged and in contact with others in the office we may not work directly with.

Cons

None that I can think of at the moment.

Pros

Caltrol is a place where everyone helps everyone. I can set my own schedule and do what I need to do to assist my customers.

Cons

There is still a lot of confusion with the changes that are being made by the new CEO. There also seems to be a lack of transparency on some things.

Pros

The culture - Everyone earns shares in the company, so the focus is on what's best for business rather than the individual The people - Co-workers are willing to answer questions or pitch in when necessary Benefits - There are some cool benefits. You get a fitness reimbursement, 3 weeks PTO plus 12 holidays, and shares in the company just by showing up to work

Cons

The different business units don't always collaborate, which can lead to extra work and frustration. The CEO is trying to combat this, but his plans are still taking shape.

Thank you for taking the time to give us feedback. I agree that Caltrol offers some amazing benefits. The $400 a year Fitness/Personal Growth Reimbursement is pretty generous. I'm happy that the CEO's efforts to combat the silos is recognized. Let's check back in 6 months to see if there have been any changes to this situation. Keep on doing what your doing!
