Pros

Benefits are on par with most organizations, i.e. health insurance, PTO, FSA, etc. Salary is competitive and they try to retain star employees.

Cons

Shady on boarding and off boarding practices. It is not uncommon for employees, even those who have been there for years, to suddenly receive termination paperwork in the mail without any prior warning, on a weekend nonetheless. The headquarters is laid out in a typical office setting with high cube walls and little stimulus to keep you engaged with your teammates. It does not encourage team building or even getting to know your neighbors. It is not uncommon to work in this medium sized, single floor building for months and still bump into people you've never seen before. Some management is quick to axe their employees in exchange for a better office, bigger salary or other perks. This is not a company you work at to feel valued, enjoy what you do or interact with your teammates on a positive level. Rather it's a gateway to something better. It's mundane environment leaves much to desire and it will disappoint.

Beware CaptiveAire

Pros

Semi-Competitive Pay + Possible Bonus Incentives

Cons

Cut-throat company that will chew you up and spit you out without any warning or consideration for your well-being. I would strongly recommend working for another company like Greenheck or Trane, which are more established and seem to have moral values where this company does not.

High in Tech, Low on People

Pros

Good benefits and bonuses, the company has a few perks (paid cellphone, paid travel, bonus structure). CaptiveAire is very forward thinking and innovative in most areas. Opportunities are there for those who are very ambitious.

Cons

Vacation time is broken into 2 hour increments and based on an accrual system which means you have to save up and plan very far in advance for any PTO. Bonus payout structure seems to fluctuate based on managements mood. Very innovative company, but it comes at the cost of a poor work/life balance. Busy culture is the standard.
