Pros
Work hours are somewhat flexible. Can make a decent living if your a good tech with the right office staff and management.
Cons
Lack of good general managers. Motivated estimators with strong work ethic are few and far between. Been in this market for 15+ years, in the industry for over 30. Favoritism occurs regularly with how the work is handed out. Many of the shops in this market are forced to use old, outdated, and more often than not, faulty broken equipment. One big thing that doesn’t sit well with me is how employees whom are in the National Guard or Reserve military are treated. If your in either one and thinking of going to work for Caliber think hard before you do. “Do the right thing” is just a market ploy. If I was to do a post repair inspection on every job done at Caliber in this market half would not pass. “Get it done as quick as possible with as little as possible” is what they really want. I’ll be leaving Caliber very soon.
