I worked with a great bunch of people. I learned a lot about obtaining different types of building permits & how each city's requirements differ, sometimes drastically. I learned how to print on a large format printer. I learned how to multitask and remain calm. I improved my skills in creating electronic close-out books, for completed projects. I worked with project managers that ran some gigantic projects. I learned how to read building blueprints for HVAC systems.
I spent my days communicating with city admins, applying for building permits, HVAC and plumbing licenses, calling for inspections and marking up blueprints for my main project manager. I built close-out books that were either physical, digital, or occasionally both, and arranged for shipping or occasionally delivery of these books.. I sought information regarding the larger projects to help those project managers. I printed blueprints and building plans. I filed project information & stored older project information. The hardest part of the job getting everything done! I enjoyed all I learned regarding the building industry. It was also great to have all the differing duties I performed. I was hired with a broken arm that was casted, so at first the large printouts were hard to handle & harder to get copied through the large printer.

From the beggining I specifically stated in my job application and interview that I did not have experience in the job I was applying for and was offered a job. Seeing as I was still hired I said ok, the next month and a half was constant ridicule and bullying from my foreman and coworkers. I was expected to know things when I clearly never lied about having experience in this field. The foreman was rude and condescending and one of the worst people I've ever met. My coworkers were no different and had no patience to explain things even though there was a language barrier. Mind you I speak perfect english and Spanish , my coworkers did not. Now I'm not saying everyone needs to speak perfect english but to assume I will understand directions given to me the first time when there is a language barrier is completely absurd. My foreman went as far as calling me out in front of a customer saying I lied about my experience and that I was probably "making more than him" . Please stay away from this company if you care at all about a positive company culture.

The management is myopic in that they prefer outside hires rather than promoting from within.  They prefer to bring in people with zero knowledge of the complexities of the company instead of utilizing the talent they already have and prefer keeping overqualified people in lower positions.  They are horribly mismanaged and there are so many managers that have no business being managers, they are only in the positions they are in because they have been there a long time.  The company is exploding and growth and needs management that is willing to adapt and instead we have managers who prefer to micromanage employees because they are worried you might steal two minutes of company time by being in the restroom for too long.  If you are willing to put up with being treated like a criminal in exchange for a weekly paycheck this is the place for you.  If you are hoping to grow your career, look elsewhere.   

Management creates a hostile work environment and there is no recourse for employees.  If you try to complain over their head, they will have a meeting in the back and make fun of you and then they will make you so uncomfortable that you want to quit.  There is no accountability for management here.  Good workers are pushed out.  Their mentality is if you don't like it, you can quit and they'll just hire someone else.  Turnover is insanely high.   There are toxic managers who are unprofessional and who talk extremely poorly about management and other employees to anyone who will listen, who create division among their team, try to stir up drama, come in late, leave early, and their behavior is just allowed.  I have never in my entire  career of working seen anyone this unprofessional.  

Working at my company has been a truly rewarding experience. I feel happy and motivated in my role, which makes a big difference in how I approach each day. The environment is both supportive and dynamic, and I genuinely look forward to the work I do.

One of the things I appreciate most is the constant sense of challenge. I'm regularly pushed to step outside my comfort zone, which keeps things exciting and helps me grow professionally. Every project presents an opportunity to learn something new, whether it's a technical skill, strategic thinking, or improved collaboration.

What really stands out is how much I've been able to learn in a relatively short time. The company encourages continuous learning and provides the resources and support needed to succeed. This culture of growth has made my experience incredibly fulfilling.

I work closely with both our customers and internal team every day to make sure we're delivering the high level of service our clients expect. I'm also involved in industry association events, lunches, and committees, and I organize my own marketing programs and events as well.

Management is very supportive and trusts me to do what's best for both Airco and our customers. One of the things I really appreciate is how much the company gives back to employees—keeping benefit costs low, bringing in vendors for lunches and snacks, and hosting fun holiday events in the office. It truly feels like a family here.

If you miss high school drama, this is the place for you! Everyone is a backstabber, including management. They treat hourly employees like children, they hire you and make promises for advancement but dont follow thru with their promises. I waited 6 months for a 90 day review but was never given one. Pay was decent but not competitive, benefits were good but not worth it considering the amount of drama you have to deal with. Alot of bullies, no one there is really that friendly.... I wouldn't reccomend accepting a job position unless your in desperate need of a paycheck. Theres a pretty high turn over rate.

At this company, I learned that as long as you are family, you get away with anything, including harassment. It was reported on several occasions, but nothing was done about it. The mid-level management needs re-structuring and the company itself would likely operate more efficiently. This company will not be a good fit for someone who is a Type A personality as you will be singled-out by many and it only makes work-life more stressful. The upper-level management is professional, but they would be well-suited to make some changes and it could help their turnover rate.

I have never worked for a company that was so unorganized, had such poor management, very unprofessional and had absolutely no room for advancement. It felt like going to High School every day. There are a lot of two faced, back stabbing individuals at this company and they would throw you under the bus just to make themselves look good. They would spread vicious rumors that could literally ruin someones work or their personal life. Airco was a very stressful place to work. By far, this was the worst place I have ever worked in my life and I am so thankful to be out of there.

The vibe at work is honestly one of the best parts of the job. Everyone's super friendly, easy to talk to and always willing to help out. It's a really positive and relaxed environment where you feel comfortable being yourself. Teamwork is a big deal here and it shows. People actually enjoy working together. There's a good balance between getting things done and having a bit of fun along the way. Overall, it's a great place to work with a really good group of people.
