Kaeser Compressors, Inc.

I came to Kaeser from being in a fast paced retail management position for 10 years.   I was hired as a service coordinator for centralized branches, the work is detailed, but clear instruction is available should a problem or question arise.  There are endless teaching resources available if you take your initial training period seriously and put in the work to learn something new.  This is definitely a job that gives back to you what you are willing to put in.  You will excel if you work hard. There are plenty of opportunities to move around in the company and all open positions are advertised to internal candidates before being released to the public.   If you are motivated by achieving attainable goals that are communicated very clearly to you, then this job would be a great fit for you.  One of the things I appreciate most about this company is that expectations are reasonable and clearly laid out, there is no guessing here,  you will receive constructive criticism when it is needed, and praise when it is earned.  The management is very proactive about forming relationships with each employee, they encourage the open door policy, you are welcome to come to them with any problem at any time and they won't make you feel inferior. If you bring a problem to management they are extremely proactive in helping you find a solution, it is my opinion that my supervisors care about the issues I face daily and want to help me be successful. The work environment is relaxed, you are encouraged to form relationships with your coworkers as well as with the field partners at the satellite offices of the centralized branches.  The facilities are maintained very well, the lunch room is always clean and the vending machines remain fully stocked at all times.  There is a gym onsite with clean locker rooms available to all employees at no charge.  Overall there is a positive vibe in the office, the energy is great, the employees really care about each other, and are welcoming of new team members.

Management here sucks. They all have each others back and you can never tell them what is on your mind before they say.. you are just upset because you didn’t get the answer you were looking for. They won’t really train you the right way and the supervisor will push things on to you that she doesn’t feel like doing. Once you say something about it they say.. that’s your job. When it’s really not, they are just lazy. They also tell you to come to them with any questions but the supervisor will huff and puff about helping you and get super frustrated and then say.. you are not the only one I am dealing with. The manager of the branch will also say to come to him but I don’t think he really wants to help either. To this day I still don’t know what his job is or what he does. I only lasted 10 months and had to get out ASAP. Management micromanage like crazy and will do anything to see if you are lying. I would definitely not recommend this place. Right now they are in need of hiring 3 people (one of which left in March and no it’s not taking this long because of COVID, we had one person start in July and worked a week and left) it’s because they can’t keep employees and then want to say.. I don’t know why people don’t want to work with me. They have not been able to keep employees even way before my time from what I hear. That in itself should have been a red flag for me. One more thing, do not add anyone from Kaeser on social media. The supervisor likes to talk about her employees but never tag them in her posts. The employees know it’s about them but what can we do? Either way, management will have her back. So snip snip ✌🏽To Kaeser Compressors, remember employees dont leave companies, they leave managers!

There's really not much good to be said about working here. I have never been so excited to hand in my two weeks as I was here. Management is the worst I've witnessed after a change a year or so ago. Favoritism runs rampant in the service department and creates a high-school like clique between the managers and anyone who is in their inner circle. Office drama is constant and department wide punishments are dished out for the actions of a few employees. On top of that the pay is far below industry standards and they have continuously limited opportunities for growth. Unqualified employees who are close friends with management get preferred treatment and are first up for promotions to team leads. Those outside of the clique can be expected to have complications with PTO requests, WFH requests to take care of kids or medical reasons, disciplinary meetings for using the bathroom for "too long", being ignored when asking for help, and lies about company policies. It really feels like they want to make employees lives as difficult as they can. work is tedious and burnout happened with every coworker I had. The job market is tough right now and a job is a job, but I would recommend avoiding this one if you can. I didn't speak with a coworker who wasn't at least interested in getting another job. Coworkers were nice and I met some really great folks there. Also gained good experience at least.

I started working for Kaeser about a year ago and I am glad that I got hired to be apart of such a great company. My days are pretty consistent, I have work to do on a daily basis which makes my days go by pretty fast. Each day you feel like you've accomplished a lot. There is a lot to learn working for the company but there is always someone there willing to help you along the way. I appreciate the growth that you have within the company, being able to start in one position with the opportunity to move around to a different position and or move to another state is great job security. Any job that you work will always have it's good days and bad days, but the good days always out weigh the bad. The hardest part about my job is just learning about all the parts of a compressor and learning the different verbiage between a technician and a manual. The most enjoyable part of my job is the great team I work with making the days go by quickly. The office structure makes you feel apart of a team. The desk's are set up in pods of 6 people giving you 5 people to help you, your pod becomes like your office family. Also management is great, they walk around making sure that we are all doing well, asking if we have any question and they will definitely give you the one on one assistance if need be. All in all Kaeser in my opinion is a great place to work. If like me: you love staying busy, you love learning new things every day and you love feeling like you're a part of a family then join the team!

The worst job ever.

This place is the pits. I dread coming to work and can't wait for the day I no longer have to walk through their door for work. 

Benefits are lousy and too expensive. There are no vending machines, no company provided coffee and no paper towels in the kitchen (kitchen only, no lunch tables) There is no employee break room or a place designated for employees to break or lunch. Speaking of breaks, you are not entitled to a 5, 10, 15, 20 minute morning or afternoon break but local mgr will allow it. However, if you smoke you are entitled to as many smoke breaks as you wish especially if you smoke with management.

Youre treated and talked to as if you are a child in school or a prisoner in jail. Everyday in almost every situation its a cluster Of mess even though all processes are documented. Nothing is ever a smooth and easy transaction. Things constantly change and you may not be made aware until you get a nasty gram from management stating you did something wrong. Nasty grams with inappropriate language is the norm here. Processes are long, they don't make make sense with a lot of unnecessary work and details required.

During my time at kaeser they were completely aware that I had no experience on compressors however I had plenty of aircraft maintenance experience. Fast forward to a couple of months later I got a phone call that they were upset that I was not doing sales (not my job as a technician) after receiving absolutely no training on sales. The following week they send me down to Salt Lake City for the week (they’ll advertise that you’ll be at you house most nights, you WONT) they tell me on Friday that I’m being let go after having only on issue that was not even related to my job as a technician. I received no communication nor have I been drawn a line in the sand as to what was expected from me. I only received a contract which stated that I will work on air compressors when they require maintenance, not doing sales. The company seems great however the management at kaeser in SLC is below sub par. Not to mention that the territory manager that let me go was laughing as he told me that they were letting me go when I had a kid being born the following month. 

I really didn’t care to write a review, but it won’t let me see reviews for jobs I want to look into. In a nutshell, I loved this job. The office atmosphere is super relaxed, and everyone is pretty amazing. I live in Fort Worth and driving to Carrollton everyday is exhausting. Working remote for a while really showed me how much money I was spending by working so far. Personality types that will do well in this position: someone who has thick skin and knows how to talk to people. The job itself is easy, however we use so many different programs so it makes the job more difficult than it needs to be in my opinion. My job has gotten exponentially more complicated because we have to use so many different programs just to set up one visit. All the while trying to finish a ticket before getting interrupted with either an IM or phone call. I would like to see corporate make the programs more streamlined for the coordinators so their time is used efficiently. But I really enjoyed all my techs and my podmates. 

Kaeser is a wonderful company to work for. Since being hired I've been made to feel like part of the family not only by HR and corporate but by my manager, supervisor, lead and coworkers, not just a number here. I feel very secure in my position because we are not made to feel replaceable, in fact we are made to feel appreciated. Kaeser has not had any layoff's, instead when times have gotten ruff they choose to have employees take furlough days in order to keep everyone employed. Coming from a company where I did not survive the last of 3 layoffs after working there for 6 years, that is very comforting to know. The training here is great, they take their time with you and make sure you know what you are doing. They don't just throw you out on your own and expect you to figure it out. When mistakes are made we are redirected with respect and not made to feel incompetent. Overall the pro's definitely out weight the cons. I would highly recommend anyone work for this company.

Great Office Atmosphere. I absolutely love it. Everyone is very down to earth and helpful. No one ever gives you a hard time when asking questions. My supervisor is not just a manager but a leader. Very personable and approachable. I read these reviews before I got hired and I was a little nervous. But I'd have to say that these reviews are not correct, at least not in the Fredericksburg branch. The only thing I would change is the cost of benefits, but other than that there's so much flexibility. I'd rather have high premiums than a stressful job. And they're flexible, especially if you have children and a crazy schedule. I've never worked at a job where they have a free gym, Zumba and yoga classes. Plus they're cafeteria has not just vending machines but fresh sandwiches and coffee. I sit at my desk and do my work. No one bothers me or asks me what I'm doing. No micromanaging. There's a great sense of team work. I wish I started here a long time ago.

I was really happy to work here for a few years, but the turnover is so high. So you’re always doing the work of at least 2-3 people. It doesn’t matter how well you work or apparently how long you’ve been with the company they won’t try to keep you. They don’t value their employees, and your manager will treat/talk to you like are a child. So if you like to be belittled and multitask 2 inboxes, several reports (that need to be checked multiple times a day), creating tickets for techs, updating customer information, requesting quotes, on top of answering every call then this is a great career opportunity for you. Oh! Not to mention, using about 5 different programs just to create one ticket. And don’t forget a thing because you’ll get a nasty email from your supervisor about how you messed up. I worked with the company for 3 almost 4 years. The grass is greener!
