Trane Technologies

I worked at the Pueblo location so here is my review of this facility.  As a full time employee the benefits are great.  Benefits include:  vacation,  pto, holiday pay,  401k plus matching,  health care bonuses, maternity leave,  etc.  Becoming a full time employee takes on average 1 full year however and even at that point some pt employees are released from their job due to Trane not wanting to hire ft.  
Pay raises are about like most other manufacturing facilities so nothing different wth that.  Promotions into leadership roles is a free for all.  For the most part promotions are handed out by managers that get promoted up from the floor who REALLY aren't the best types of people to be in management so there's this chain of people in these roles that are NOT professionals.   It's always a person moved into management who really would not be in leadership most other facilities.  This is more like throwing things at the wall and seeing what sticks.  This leads to constant failure and losing the best employees to other companies.  The leadership structure really is mind blowing to anyone that has seen structure.  If you take these leads and managers and put them in a room with other leaders of industry this trane group would stand out in a bad way.  For the most part the leadership as a whole has limited education in their background and it really does show.  
Human resource is really user friendly but that itself is the problem.  Hr really hears everything and anything and often calls people in for nothing more than gossip. Most companies only deal with legit issues but this office really let's employees walk in and open cases about ANYTHING.  Instead of finding that good balance for the work environment i feel Hr spends most days dealing with personal drama instead of work related issues. 
The other issue for me is a this facility is in Pueblo Colorado.  If you don't know about Pueblo than i suggest you do your research before you move there for work.  You can commute but that needs to be weighed in before making a move.  
My final thought is if you're already in Pueblo this is a decent job for you.  There's a type of person that belongs at Trane Pueblo then there's the type capable of much more so they usually move on.  Not the worst place to work and if you mainly care about making money and don't care about constant failure and leadership changes than this place might be ok for you.  

When I first started my career with Trane, it was a great improvement from the companies I worked for previously.  Gradually, it went downhill with changes in management.  I worked for Trane for years and was one of the only technicians to consistently run calls/work overtime as needed.  There wasn't a great work-life balance as the management team always wanted me to run calls, work overtime, and be on-call but it was part of the job and I was proud of my work ethic. When an opportunity presented itself in the form of me being able to better support my family, I knew it was time to transition to another company.  However, since Trane had been so good to me over the years, so I made the choice to be professional and give my notice even when others that were quitting soon said they wouldn't be giving notice.  I gave my notice and still wanted to work my final 2 weeks. Instead, I was told that when someone gives their notice, they aren't allowed to work their final 2 weeks and was given a ride home by a fellow employee since I had to turn in my work van. My manager and I had a good relationship and he told me that if I didn't like my new job, I could come back to work for Trane for the salary increase I would be getting at the new place, no questions asked.  Since I turned in my notice, I assumed I'd still be getting paid out for my 2 weeks.  In fact, others that had quit before me always got paid out when they gave notice.  When 2 weeks went by and I received no pay, I called the HR department and was told that since I'd given notice and the management team made the decision to send me home, I should receive pay.  However, all I received was a cold email communication stating I'd be receiving no pay.  I did the right thing, I was a hard worker, gave notice and tried to be amicable and I still got the short end of the stick. If this is how Trane chooses to part with employees that were loyal and hardworking for years, I would recommend steering clear of them and seeking employment elsewhere. 

I loved working at Trane, I loved my position. My managers would pretty much leave me alone and let me do my thing. No matter how dedicated I was to that job, I didn't have any job security. I sure wish I had, I would still be there. My co-workers were awesome. I had a few issues with one, when brought to my supervisors attention, the issue was handled immediately. The number one thing about the issue, I wanted to be kept anonymous, and only to raise a very important matter. Though this issue, had not just started with me, I'm the only one that had the voice to bring awareness to management. It was very uncomfortable having to still work with this other Co-Worker, but only for about 4 days, he was terminated. For a, "Similar Issue". Then there was a breath of fresh air. No matter how hard of a day I was having, Trane had my absolute 100 percent commitment to this position. "Pressure Bell." If I had the chance to go back to the same shift, same job opportunity I would. I can't explain my mindset, other than, I've had a lot going in my life. It was a piece of mind, a journey to something so much more greater than just being an employee at Trane. I could be myself, and just know while I was there, my mind was there and no where else. I hate how I was in the layoff (moved to second shift). And there was no way I could work 2nd shift. I would be home at 1:30am, and driving home in the middle of the night, is not a good thing for a young single mother. Yes, I could have done it. But, NO, I didn't want to take that chance of anything happening to me. Would I recommend Trane, yes. If I had the opportunity to go back, on that shift and my job responsibilities, ABSOLUTELY. That's the only place I felt safe, where I could relax, and where I had freedom. It may not make since to you. If you were in the place where I have been, and are, then Yes, "YOU" would understand. Wonder what I'm doing now? Well.....I'm in school, pursing my life long goals, and I hope this will be a huge stepping stone in my future. I know when I accomplish and complete this program, it will not only make my life less of a burden, but my children will be so proud of me.  


As a former maintenance tech I would say that Trane would be a good place to start your maintenance career. In the Columbia,  SC  location the plant is a million sq ft. They have 200 various types of cranes. This plant is PM heavy. Matter of fact they over PM. PMs should reduce downtime but not here. It is highly production driven to the point machine repair is mostly band aid. Maintenance are very low on the employee totem pole. Production employees have no accountability and don't care about machines. All they are is button pushers. Maintenance picks up the slack for production. Maintenance management is friendly but will have you doing the most frivolous projects all the time. You will do IT department work. You will work every other weekend or every weekend. You will run around all over the plant working on various types of machinery. You never become an expert for certain types of machinery. Just learn enough to bandaid it back together. It's very good old boy run. You got 70+ year old men as team leads. You will get a cost of living raise maybe yearly but that's it. Get your money up front. You will do production work and shipping and receiving. Not all the time but frequently. The two best things about working here are weekly pay and it's air conditioned. You will drive golf carts around the plant but make sure you don't get the wrong one because people think they own them. They don't have enough radios to go around. You might get a $15 voucher for Thanksgiving but nothing for Christmas. You will change propane tanks on forklifts because materials personnel are incompetent. I can go on and on.

Working at Trane Technologies, particularly through the HVAC.com side, gave me exposure to a large, established brand with real industry credibility. There’s a strong emphasis on professionalism, data-driven decision making, and long-term customer trust, which I appreciated from a marketing and strategy standpoint. Having the backing of a global company also means access to solid resources, smart colleagues, and opportunities to work on projects that actually move the needle.

One of the biggest positives is the scale and stability. The brand recognition alone opens doors, and there are genuinely talented people across marketing, product, and operations. If you like structured environments and working on complex, cross-functional initiatives, you’ll likely find that rewarding.

That said, like many large organizations, things can move slowly. Decision cycles can be long, and navigating layers of approval sometimes makes innovation feel harder than it should be. Integration between legacy teams and newer acquisitions can also take time to fully gel.

Benefits are competitive overall, though healthcare plan changes and costs have been a concern at times, which is worth understanding upfront depending on your family situation.

Overall, it’s a good place to build experience in a major industry player, especially if you’re interested in HVAC, home services, or large-scale brand marketing. Just go in knowing it’s a big corporate environment: stability and resources come with some bureaucracy.

Most enjoyable part of the job was the customers. Company has EXCEPTIONAL employee leaning paths and assistance programs, only problem is NO ONE knows how to use any of the programs , management hasn't been trained on company employee hr and engagement software programs. Every year we were rushed at the last minute to fill out self assessments.  Only too be instructed on how and what to answer to the questions? "Copy and paste annual reviews " pretty much...management only worries about his or her personal pay annual reviews. Anonymous employee engagement not Anonymous, have to log into program with your own user ID and password. also when you try and answer honestly about UPPER MANAGEMENT and give criticism, your answers always penalized my direct supervisor. In other words if I had an issue with my bosses boss which is a direct question on the annual assessment, every time I answered honestly, my direct supervisor got nailed with negative reviews and it affected their pay.  So basically assessment is unreliable and a waste of time. Company only cares about employee engagement numbers, not handling REAL issues. I won several awards for store leadership only to be told at review time " no one EVER gets the maximum raise percentage. 

Besides the pay, benefits, and time off, this place is horrible.
I liked working for Trane till I started to see how management run things..
Management at Trane is probably the most incompetent I’ve seen, you have to almost force them to do their job, many things to keep the warehouse functions go smoothly required their authorization which they really dragged on, extremely  unorganized and not to be trusted. They spread politics like crazy, and if they have something against best believe anything personal you have or had go on your coworkers will know, simply because managers will spill beans to them about your situation. There’s been times when I come back to work after taking care of personal situations and some how my co workers are asking me about that very situation. The amount of lies that’s fed down the tube is crazy, fake raises and bonuses. Their inventory system is god awful, you’d keep better track with paper. 

They’ll try everything in their power to make the job harder and extensive then it really needs to be. The way this company is ran  is extremely outdated, family members all work together and that’s the only way to move up here, HR SUCKS if there even is an HR, the word technologies in the name shouldn’t be there, there’s no technical aspect or any type of logistics here. 

If you simply just don’t care and only care for a paycheck, this is the place there is 0 accountability and 0 responsibility.

What is the best part of working at the company?
There’s is nothing good about this company, the pto is good but not worth the toxicity 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Everyone had a “Not My Problem” attitude this job is having to deal with people who just pass off problems to the next person. Everyone I worked with hated talking to customers and just wanted them to talk to the next representative or person as soon as possible, 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment at Trane technologies was super toxic, the regional ops manager would always be quick to point out that we were beneath him, and Every week you had to worry or not whether you would have a job the following week


What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Very stressful, the Wearhouse lead was incredibly lazy and just sat at the front desk refusing to help, I complained to the store manager but she always responded & played the  seniority card about how he has worked there for so many years and he didn’t have to do anything. All of my complaints and concerns were ignored. The problem got so bad that when I complained to the regional manager, he told me that I had to do his job too because of “seniority” after that they let me go. I would not recommend this workplace to anybody, the managers and even HR is toxic.

At Trane, everything started out great. The interview and orientation process was informative and helpful and felt like you were being set up for success. They put you in a position for which you are qualified and comfortable. I think however for me, the particular department that I was in was dysfunctional and toxic. With so many moving parts and such responsibilities, the management always seemed stressed out, harried, and unhelpful. In many situations I would ask for help, or bring up issues as I had been asked to do. Any time something like that would happen I would be either ignored or flat out denied. When the particular job I had became too stressful and difficult for me I asked to be moved and was again postponed. I knew my immediate leadership did not have my back and my physical and mental health were suffering for it. 
Trane is a huge successful company and I hope that none of the other departments or leadership are like that but from what I saw, nobody helps anyone else, everyone is looking out for themselves and as a result the quality of the work done is pitiful and low. A good start with promise, but I think the company is too big, too greedy  and too at odds with itself to do much good for its employees 

They sent us an agenda with start and end times for the next 3 days to prepare us for what to expect and to schedule our day. They didnt follow it at all except for LEAN Training. After we show up each day they tell us they don’t know what’s going on despite sending us an agenda and then they extend the time we have to be there with no solid end date. We were supposed to leave at 12-1 and instead were kept until 3pm until some of us were finally told we could leave. The sewage overflowed the next day and they shut us in a room and told us we werent allowed to leave because as soon as the higher ups were done in meetings they would come talk to us. The time they would come talk to us kept getting extended and we ended up sitting shut up in the room for 1.5 hours with the faint smell of sewage seeping into the room. We were promised to be paid for a full work week for orientation even though we dont need to be there all day—we will see if that is true. We were also told that after 3 days of orientation that we would go home and starting Monday do some work online from now until the building opens and we would get paid for 40 hours. However, now we are coming back in on Thursday with less than 24hrs notice. This has been a really awful experience and has shown there is no security in this job.
