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.

Pros

Almost no Pros for this position, if you are just looking for a manufacturing role this seems like an alright company that at least tries to care about you. The free lunches are usually pretty good too.

Cons

Bad pay, very strict time schedules, and ZERO engineering experience expected to be gained from this role. You are treated as a full time manufacturing associate. This entire company does not know how to utilize talent accordingly, engineers are doing menial tasks and you are doing NOTHING. Every promotion or managerial position seems to be decided entirely on if you are related to someone higher up in the company or if you are buddy buddy with a manager.
