Climate Pros

Pros :
- The benefits and pay. If you are a tech you are union so you get good pay and health benefits along with a retirement fund.
- You get to work on a lot of diverse equipment so you can grow your resume easily with experience.

Cons:
- It’s a corporate environment, and with that comes a lot of issues of overhead and company fat.
- Management, they don’t care about anything besides numbers and their bonuses, if you have any issues they will listen and then it stops there. They will bury any issue and not fix anything just so the CEO doesn’t find out.
-Dispatching, these are people that seem to have no relevant work experience in this trade whatsoever that are trained to just get calls of their boards at any cost. Be prepared to feel micromanaged and rushed all day long while they stalk every movement on a gps in your work truck. They make working in a skilled trade feel like working in a retail environment somehow.
- Coworkers, good luck ever getting anyone to help you out on call or take a day for you or even barely communicate with each other in the field if you have a tough call and need help. Most of them seem very untrained and either will blow the call off for someone else to handle or generate an insane amount of callbacks.
- Emails, you will probably get 30-60 emails a day even when you're not on the clock and on weekends.
- They offer nothing incentive or bonus wise compared to their competitors in the trade.

Overall I would never work here again or recruit anyone into this company. Sounded great but once reality kicked in it was a big mistake.

No training, the amount of knowledge required to provide the quality of their customers proper service does not meet the technicians abilities. No support from upper level management, no trust in them and they often provide a false sense of security to employees. Branch level employees WILL be set up for failure and no changes in achieving professionalism will ever be made. The issues with continuity should speak for itself. 
Field Service Texnician;
a person with little to no training, no initiative to self educate and most often displays underdeveloped critical thinking skills; at times these individuals may assume one is making things up when technical (trade specific) vocabulary is utilized and in some cases extremely entitled. 
These individuals need no training, are content with being sub-standard , this group of individuals are identified as “Texnicians” do not listen and already know everything. 

The growth of this company is amazing, and with growth comes opportunities for advancement. The also  encourage and promote employees to advance their carriers. They have multiple learning opportunities to provide training for their employees to advance. The company is very team oriented across all branches. They are also very technology based which was great when transitioning remotely due to Covid. 
It really is a great company to work for and it is amazing to be a part of a company that is expanding rapidly. 

Feast or Starve… company needs a lot of help cause they promise stores help they don’t have..act like they are training but the guys that you would call for help have already been demoted from the field due to the fact they wouldn’t answer the phone at all when they was supposed to be FSS. Company is a train wreck in all aspects…

It’s honestly a mess. My boss works at home and is always posting hunting and fishing posts but try to call him and he don’t answer at all..

If you take call and run 26 hours a day and drive three hours one way for a call a day they will love you. They just need a man In a van so that they can bill the blue store/.. 

Yeah pretty much a joke but the owner is oblivious…..


Climate Pros is a very fast paced environment. Your role will include many different facets which paves the way for future endeavors within the company or you can shine brightly right where you are. The workplace culture shares like attitudes and work ethics - we just want to keep growing and succeeding by whatever it takes. My favorite part of the day is the daily interaction with people from 43 states although we are all over we are one Great Company and the distance is just a number.

Long hours about every day, they don't care how long you work just if you get to the call and they can charge and make money. Lack of qualified service technicians seems like they just hire backyard mechanics or handymen that only band aid problems instead of fixing. Management takes their sweet time if any to help in anyway or they just tell you to do a overtime call even though you are backed up in calls late in the day. Service area too big to accommodate for the amount of people they have some calls could be 3-4 hours away one way. Also other Techs may or may not have the right certifications to handle some of the calls they are responding to. 

15 years no write ups all seemed good at first lots of people who will stab you in back .no one goes by anything close to what your told when your employee interview is given .some people can do anything and get away without even getting written up hr people run the show if your background isn’t what they want your fired people running the show could care less about you 15 years no write ups never missed work all my jobs were under budget and making money watch out for  Anonymous hr complaints not even sure if there was one or not company split in to in Texas the back stabbers and the people who really want to work !

Boring. I had to push to learn new tasks. I had applied for Branch Coordinator multiple times and wasn’t even approached or contacted even though I ALREADY work there and have years experience. They only like to hire young and not experienced. 
Management is extremely poor and they feel entitled and they do not take accountability at all. 
Very rude people that I had to deal with from the moment my equipment was shipped to me. 
Only good thing was working from home and it being a little independent. 

The upper management tend to have a more aggressive sense of humor, no work life/balance type of people and won’t be a great fit for anyone out there who have strong values and the same “lifestyle” as them. It is fast paced as in you need to come prepared to give all you got and take criticism. The company culture is very laid back which is nice and they don’t really have a dress code like other companies do. There’s lot of flexibility when it comes to time off and work hours as long as you get work done.

Full disclosure, I worked at CPI when it was stilled owned by two humans. In the beginning it was a great company, had integrity, and was a fantastic place to be employed. Then the nuclear bomb dropped and everything change pretty much overnight. I’m sure it’s still a good company but there are better ones out there. Ones that don’t issue you a number, ones that know you, know your family. Don’t feed these huge machines. They are the death of a trade that was, at one point, full of compassion and care.
