Caltrol

Typical shifts start nice and early which normally means getting home early. Travelling outside of rush hour is quite a luxury. There are days where you may need to come early or stay late depending on work load, which the company understands. Typical companies just force you to squeeze more work into your regular hours. The mentorship is fantastic and there are numerous people to learn from in every department. The company works as a collective so the incentive to help each other is essential. The hardest part was changing my mentality to be eager and take on new challenges rather than groan about them but being around employees that already do that, makes the transition easier. The company values your attributes and encourages transitions into different roles if you feel it beneficial. The company is about growth and the most enjoyable part of this job is something that isnt even part of my job, which is boasting about this place. It is incredible and its a great place for workers that want to work.  

Hands down, this is the best place I've ever worked. The culture is welcoming and I'm surrounded with talented and amazing co-workers. Information on the company is shared monthly, quarterly, and on an ongoing basis. We have an amazing benefits package and the company is always looking for ways to improve. I'm treated respectfully and my voice matters. Suggestions and feedback are always encouraged and welcomed. 

I work a hybrid schedule and I'm able to have a great work-life balance. My manager really cares about me and my well-being. It is never a problem to take time to care for myself or my family or even my fur babies! I am afforded opportunities to develop both professionally and personally. 

Senior leadership is approachable and down-to-earth. Caltrol also cares about our communities and often participates in special events. 

I truly feel a sense of belonging and a purpose. 

All day long in my position was friendly respectful and fun. 
I learned a lot about valves and components, distribution, service and contracts.
My immediate manager was 5 star. It is shameful to say and may seem to you as catty but in all of  my years working I have never seen or even heard of an HR rep telling stories about one person to another and sharing personal information with others. The HR department created a horrible work environment in many of the departments. My HR 0 start
The hardest part of my job was keeping others cool when they were upset. You could cut the tension with a knife in the environment at times because of HR.
The most enjoyable part of my job was learning all new things. The crews in all other departments were so awesome, just great people.
The team members 5 star.

Supportive Work Environment: The team at Caltrol is very supportive and collaborative. There is a strong emphasis on teamwork and helping each other succeed.

Hybrid Work Model: The hybrid work model offers a good balance between remote work and in-office collaboration, which is great for maintaining work-life balance.

Customer Interaction: The role involves direct interaction with customers, which is rewarding and helps in building strong professional relationships.

Technical Expertise: The job allows you to develop and apply technical knowledge in process valves, actuators, and instrumentation, which is both challenging and fulfilling.

A typical day at work would be to come into the office, check your emails, enter in any Purchase orders necessary, send follow up emails that are needed and review your open order report and make sure you are updating any dates if lead times change. I learned that the entire team is supportive beyond belief. The Management team is what every employee seeks for in a successful company. We are like family here and we understand we all have a part to play in our roles to help get the customer what they need. The hardest part of the job would be to explain to our customer if lead times change, as long as you follow up with the customer and keep a constant communication, in my experience it all ends up turning out just fine. The most enjoyable part of my job is the people. 

The work I do is highly satisfying even if extremely challenging. I love the flexibility to do the job correctly without being overly managed or controlled. The people here are very professional. Nobody plays stupid games with anybody like a lot of the previous companies I've worked for. Everyone here is a grownup I should say. Management acknowledges my work and makes me feel appreciated. They also supply me with all of the business tools I need to succeed. I'm still in the exact career field I chose 35 years ago and to this day Caltrol is the best company I've ever worked for.

A typical day at work involves working closely with co-workers and management. There is always something different to do from day to day. The learning curve here is very high. There is always a chance to learn a new skill. Management is always there to help out with no judgments. The hardest part of the job would most likely be meeting deadlines in a timely manner. The most enjoyable part of the job would be interacting with co-workers and management.  

Middle Management just wants to suck up to the people they report to and will say what they want hear but almost NEVER any follow through or accountability is ever achieved,  Everyone is replaceable mentality,  no matter how long you've been there.  They don't care if you walk out the door tomorrow because they can pay someone less. Experience and Commitment means nothing anymore.  It has become a revolving door where the experienced people walk.  No appreciation for the people who bust their behinds to make money for this company.  Surveys are a Joke!


There are multiple cases of exceptional employees who worked for Caltrol for years and never advanced. Remote offices usually get the short end of the stick for advancement as well. Middle management is terrible with very few exceptions. Your ideas don't mean anything to them and though they say they are listening, they usually don't. Don't get on the wrong VP's bad side.

Typical day starts at anytime in the morning you want to arrive. You work as independent as you need to be with help just one text away. Everyone is supportive and friendly making the environment and atmosphere never once feel lifeless or empty. Lunch is taken seriously, everyone knows the best spots. The hardest part of the job if anything is just remembering to stretch your back after you've been sitting so long.
