Pros

CaptiveAire has a reputation for providing excellent products and customer service at low cost. While many CEOs live lavishly, CaptiveAire's owner, Bob Luddy, still packs his own lunch to bring to work everyday, lives simply, and keeps costs under control; reinvesting the profits back into CaptiveAire as well as his philanthropic endeavor, Thales Academy. It is refreshing to work for CaptiveAire, a company with traditional American values; Work hard, treat others with camaraderie and respect, be true to yourself and others, be more concerned about what’s right, rather than who is right, and do all with enthusiasm. CaptiveAire’s spirit of continuous improvement and innovation are key to its steady growth, but none of this would be possible without strong leadership including a moral foundation grounded in truth and character.

Cons

Nothing that I am aware of.

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.
