COMAIRCO

Being a service tech new to compressors i was trained fully by the current techs and staff at Comairco. No question too stupid to ask and no safety item overlooked. If there was an issue i was always comfortable bringing it up to my superior and it would be resolved promptly. Typical service tech day consists of driving to multiple business locations and servicing or diagnosing compressors. The job is different every day, you meet new people every day, and you're in a new environment every day. This may be a pro or a con to some. Workplace culture at the home office is good, the people are friendly and will address any concern you may have if its just brought up and discussed. Most issues are easily resolved with simple discussions and communication. The hardest part about the job is as the tech you're the middle man between customer and branch office. Miscommunication between the 3 may result in an unhappy customer or an issue with management. If you keep your head on straight and are not a shady character this is not an issue you will run into. If i customer is upset and you've done your job to the fullest you can count on your branch manager or even other branches personnel to have your back. The other techs have no issue helping the new guy out as long as you best effort is given. The best part about the job was having the company truck, and enjoying driving all over the state and seeing different sights and going to cool and interesting factories where they make some of the stuff you may use everyday. Cons are there doesn't seem to be a great deal of room for advancement as a tech, but this is true in most mechanical hands on jobs. And that you will be on call/ have to work long hours with little notice, this is due to service calls. The best thing i took away from my time with comairco is the mentality i was shown when approaching a mechanical issue. The techs you deal with and work with want to get the job done correctly and dont want the machine to breakdown as soon as they leave. This helps inforce the mentality of doing it right and not replacing things that dont need replacing. You understand the customers bottom line is just as import as the bill youre handing them from comairco itself. You dont have to sell things that are not required like so many do in the car business. you dont have to replace parts just because like so many do in the car business. Just honest work for honest people, you learn to walk away from the machine you just worked on proud and positive you've done the work correctly because thats how they teach you to.

Very productive environment where you have a sense of purpose. Scheduling is done weeks in advance for your jobs minus emergency calls, which gives you great notice of when you may have a longer day then usual. Most days are your standard eight hour days if you complete your work with a sense of urgency. Some days are consumed mainly by driving so if you hate driving this gig isn’t for you. Your general day will be working alone without anyone breathing down your neck or micromanaging you. This job is great for someone who is already in the maintenance realm and that is self motivated and has a drive to work without being told what to do every minute of the day. 

I worked at the Schenectady Location, sadly due to health reasons, I was unable to continue my employment. It was a wonderful experience. The management saw skills from my previous career setting and offered me the opportunity to enter a new industry. The pace can be fast at times, but everyone is a team player and help is just one ask away. You will never be out in the cold for knowledge with an exceptional team always willing to assist. Take the chance and begin your next career here. Its a great opportunity which I hope to one day be able to return to in a different capacity more suited to my condition.  

The service tech position provides some perks by supplying a company vehicle and a dry cleaning service for uniforms. Overall it is the management team that made it unbearable to work. In general there is a lack of leadership and follow-up when it comes to poorly executed jobs by my peer group. My local office could not keep office help because of the amount of disrespect from immediate supervisor. Overall the perks of the job could not overcome the obstacles of a weak and ungrateful management team and upper leadership.

Comairco is a great family owned Company with a solid reputation. Ownership is growth oriented and truly care about the needs and concerns of their employees.  Pending work ethic, growth potential can be unlimited. Employment with Comairco is more than a job... it is a career that one can be proud of. Always looking forward and growing while providing our customers with unparalleled support in all aspects of our business. Strongly recommend pursuing a career with Comairco!

I loved working there, the people were GREAT the job was vewry interesting, and you were alway busy doing some thing. I loved getting up in the morning and working there, I also enjoyed the interaction with the Corporate Office in Montreal.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Coworkers were great people. The company itself is micromanaged from Canada. The company database is antiquated and in complete disarray. Management isn't sure how to run the business and changes direction frequently.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Using an outdated computer system and being mirco-managed. There is no company direction or common goals.

I really enjoyed my time at Comairco. It’s a great family owned business. I learned a lot from training and the senior technicians. Any time you have a question on a compressor the senior techs are always there to help you out. Good communication between the techs on the road and the dispatchers at the office. Management is good at taking care of there techs as well. 

I was only there a very short period of time. The people and management are great. The work can be challenging but nothing unmanageable. I would recommend the Buffalo branch to anyone looking for a good place. If my wife had not fallen gravely ill, I would still be there today. The serve department is terrific.

My onboarding was good, all the other locations are very supportive, and there is always someone you can reach out to. there is no micromanaging, there is a good amount of freedom the employer provides, flexibility is great. I can only recommend reaching out and see for yourself.
