Remco Inc.

What is the best part of working at the company?
REMCO is a great company! If you want to work there is lots of opportunity at this company. Company has many great employees and resources to get the job done. Support from other employees is there when needed . 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
I worked in service. Most stressful part of job was being on call frequently. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Hard work rewarded in paycheck. If you want to work and make money there always was work available. Coworkers were willing to help and learning from them was always above the norm at this company. Company has plumbers, HVAC, refrigeration mechanics, food equipment technicians, installers etc that are capable of working together and the job always gets done. It’s a great company, especially for a young person with some trade experience that strives to be really good at what they do or would like to expand their knowledge in the trades. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I worked in service. Typical day started with dispatcher assigning work orders , coordinating with management and going to service call . Once on site , problem or task at hand was evaluated and solution to achieve objective determined , parts and equipment obtained and work executed. Company van and gas card was provided, van serviced by expert crew of three company mechanics. Job involved a lot of travel, large service area. Go home, do it all again next day. Never the same thing every day.

I have learned so much in my short time here, and although it was a major decision to end my previous career and start fresh, I already know it was the best choice I ever made. There are no borders to the training that is available whether you are in the office or in the field. Things are fast paced, but in the best way. We have a very laid back and positive culture here. There are many events that bring everyone together which keeps morale up. Remco truly CARES about & appreciates every single employee, which is a rare thing these days. The employees also care about the company and make decisions based on that. I feel like I have a second family here. The heath benefits are great, as well as the 401K and extras. We are employee owned, so we work hard together to help the company grow. Our management team is great, always positive (not forced, they are happy) and work together to get things done. Work/Life balance is great and exceptions are made regularly to help people when needed. If you are reading this and trying to decide if you should join our team-think no longer, I'm sure you'll be like me and know you made the right one.

Remco takes care of the employees that are committed and invested in the company. They are trying to build a culture of individuals that are looking for a long term employment with a strong balance of salary, heath benefits, 401k, employee stock plan, bonus', tool replacement, paid training, 

The hours are based on the current work volume which anyone that has working in the industry knows the hours increase with extreme weather conditions. Overall the hours average 5-10 hours of OT throughout the year. 

On call can be taxing at times however management is very good about allowing you to have time to rest between shifts.

The training opportunities are great including paid training time!

Consistently received holiday bonus' and even additional bonus' when the company has had a good year. This is one of the perks of the company being employee owned. 

Need not apply if you don't have a strong work ethic and do not want to be part of the big picture.

Let me start with this NO COMPANY IS PERFECT they all have issues may it be certain personality’s, equipment, or BS work politics, that being said Remco from where I sit is pretty close to it! 

 I’ve been a part of the Baltimore Refrigeration team for two years and I love it. All of the guys I work with are helpful and knowledgeable the pay is great, we have monthly team meetings and we talk about where we are, where we want to be, things going on in the company, changes happening, and they ask for feedback from us and actually listen to it Remco is a big company that doesn’t feel like a big company.

If your a honest and hard worker this company will take care of you and your family!

The only down side of this company and this industry in general is the on call, it can get crazy especially in the summer you can put in 30+ hrs of overtime some weeks but that’s the nature of the beast! I think our field supervisors do a great job making a fair and unbiased on call schedule and we know what it will be months in advance so we can plan out our vacations.

8 years i have worked at Remco Inc. I have seen the company go above and beyond to help its employees with personal and company issues. As with any company you will get out of it what you put in and I must say most times you get back way more! the list of benefits is very long as are the perks. yearly Christmas bonus, esop bonus, breakfast meetings, Christmas party, clam bake, longevity bonus and these are just some of things you get above your regular benefits.Yes it has problems but what company doesn't? If you are wondering if you should work here then the answer is yes! you will over time find that there is nowhere to go but as far as you want! some days are long and some are often challenging. This company will help you grow if that is what you want. there is a reason most of Remco employees have been here for many years and in some cases over 25+ years. They care about the employee's and staff.So if you want a place to get ahead and retire from some day then Remco is that place. You can start as a helper and even retire running the company if that is your goal.

When I started this company was great and I felt I was achieving my goals and building a good career for myself until it came to getting a raise or asking a simple request from the managers.  They took it like an insult. Almost like you have to be a buddy or your daddy has to be the boss to get anything here, and there are too many captains trying to drive the ship and not enough fishermen. Have to go through like 5 managers just to get a half decent answer. I learned a lot here because I did both install refrigeration and service refrigeration so I am thankful for that, but don’t let these manager insult your intelligent and make you out to be a clown. Learn what you can learn and head for bigger and better opportunities that will get you a home life/work balance and be more professional about their business.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Very happy working for this company.  Hard to find a company that has more positives than negatives... but I've found it.
Good pay, benefits and training. Can't complain about any level of management. Coworkers are all good. We are under the Smarcare parent company. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Sometimes it's hard working around a busy kitchen.  

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
If you like to get a work order and management doesn't micromanage you... this is the place for you. 
Louisiana,  Mississippi,  Texas culture.  We all get along.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
We start between 6-8 , start new work orders or pickup parts from the warehouse and get busy.  Some work orders take 2 hours and some take all day, but you're not rushed. Get it done right the first time. 
On call is once every 7 weeks. Not bad.

Work would begin whenever we would be told to show up at the warehouse. This time would change due to the drive time to the job site. We would work until the job was done or our standard work time.
I have learned a great deal of in-field experience on commercial and industrial HVAC equipment and designs.
Management was good but at time could use some work. Need to not overthink and make jobs easier.
Co-workers were always helpful and friendly, and we would always help on another out if there was any type of problem.
Hardest part of the job was being the low man or newest member because when jobs had a lot to be done I would voice my opinion to make the job go smoother and it would be disregarded right away.
Most enjoyable part of the job was the experience and having good co-workers and management if anything would go wrong.

REMCO is a solid company. Being employee owned means that all profits go back into the company and to the employees. The pay is very competitive and the OT is there for the taking. If you don’t want to work hard and be rewarded, go somewhere else. 

Like any company, REMCO has its weak spots. Management does not always respond to concerns in the most timely fashion. They do care though. REMCO is always growing, so there are growing pains from time to time. 

Most importantly though, I feel respected at REMCO. They have the industry experience to understand people’s limits and also their needs. They will always work with you to do the job the right way and the safe way. They don’t expect you to kill your body doing unrealistic jobs. Check it out for yourself.

typical day 6am-9/10pm, unless on call most times worked 18-24 hours.
i learned how to prioritize time on a task and complete jobs as fast as possible until correct time could be used to finalize a job.
management   was poor and stretch very thin causing poor leadership and stress/ killing work environment and employee demeanor and moral .
workplace culture wasn't a team based or improvement based job , you mostly worked alone with very minimum phone assistance. people you did work with did not have time to show you task before just completing themselves.  
hardest part were hours put in vs hours off / hands on job training ,there also was 0 to little time for task completion.
the most enjoyable part of job was out of town/state work and seeing new things/meeting new people.
