CaptiveAire reviews

-Solid core values of honesty, integrity, and hard work. The CEO/founder is worth a ton of money, is in his 70s, and still puts in the hours and works a ton, and probably will until he drops. -Latest technology. Your laptop lagging? They'll send you a new one. Phone a little out of date? Here's the latest and greatest model. Chair uncomfortable? Here's the best one we could find. -Almost no bureaucracy. I answer to my regional manager, and he answers directly to the CEO. You need to move mountains for a customer? You can ask the CEO directly to help make it happen. CEO also participates directly in new hire training. -This can be a pro or a con, depending on the type of person you are, but growth is dependent on you. No matter how long you've been with the company, if you don't show the right traits and abilities, you're not going to move up. Also, you'll be paid according to the value you bring, not the hours or years you've put in. -Very little overnight travel. The occasional training or if you need to travel for a customer, but that's about it. -Reimbursed for any reasonable work related expenses. Reimbursed for miles you put on your car, lunch meetings with clients, office supplies, per diem when traveling overnight, etc. You just submit an expense report and it's back in your account in about a week. -Competitive benefits. Other companies I know of are comparable. -CaptiveAire dominates the commercial kitchen ventilation industry. The product sells itself, you just have to not screw it up. -Work life balance is encouraged, though not always great in certain areas. You can always talk to your manager about it to get it to improve, and if that falls on deaf ears then you can talk to someone at corporate. They really care about your quality of life, not just what they get out of you.

CaptiveAire has a serious, but relaxed work environment; i.e. you come in, you do your job well, and as long as you're not dressed like a slob you'll be fine. The catered lunches once per week are a nice perk as are the premium coffee/snacks/redbull provided gratis. They have solid 401K and match as well as insurance benefits etc. You always have cutting edge tech. You don't feel like a number, and they're open to constructive criticism/suggestions.
