Pros

40 hours of consistent work

Cons

How much time do you have? All the experienced guys left because not one person in that office has any clue what goes on the field. The left hand has no idea what the right hand is doing. At 9am they’ll ask you to work late because they’ve already messed up the schedule for the day, and if you don’t? Get ready for the onslaught of manipulation that’s about to be in your face. Management keeps track of all “favors” so they have ammo to use against you in time of need. Definitely not a family friendly business to work for. Not one person in the office has ever picked up a wrench. Definitely better options out there. Ya live ya learn. In this case, the grass is definitely greener on the other side.

We ask that the viewing audience reads our response in full to this review below: The following summary is a documented and accurate version of this story: -Employee was recruited on 10/21/2015 from another employer where pay was entirely commission based, and employee had concerns about not being treated well. -Employee was brought on at a base wage of $23/hr plus commissions, spiffs, benefits, etc. -During employment, this employee received 3 regular reviews and was making $35/hour upon separation, in addition to aforementioned benefits in less than 3 years -Company provided vehicle, fuel, uniforms, cell phone, and tablet. Company provided loans to employee for the purchase of new personal tools, and yearly allowance for misc uniform items like boots and gloves. -Employee was granted 16 time off requests for vacation or personal reason with no resistance -Employee was provided paid training, including training out of state which included travel, lodging and transportation -Employee received personalized (to his request) trips/incentives for performance -Employee received a long term modified work schedule to be able to take his children to school in the mornings -Employee worked an average of 50.24 hours per week -Employee received a $4000 loan at 0% interest to pay for personal expenses. -Employee left with no notice, coming in on a payday Friday in civilian clothes. At time of separation, employee still owed a substantial balance to the company and was unable to pay at that time. While we recognize we are not perfect, we feel that we do a better job that just about anyone out there in a difficult industry. There is a very high rate of turnover in our industry as a whole, and seniority in more companies peaks at 2-3 years for most companies. The difference is, we care. We are actively and constantly striving to better ourselves and create the new norm for our industry. If anyone out there would like to see the real CM Heating experience, we invite you to come on in for an interview. You'll be glad you did.

Decieving

Pros

Excellent professional atmosphere/ corporate environment, does good work for customers.

Cons

This company was bought out by air pros, and as much as the managment will make the case of "we have kept our majority stock and make our own decisions" that is a decieving argument based on the fact that airpros has production quotas for CM because of which managment has been forced to make drastic changes to make more and more money. that weight falls on the employees. this company has a very two faced lay off season, the moment the company falls behind your job is no longer safe. you can win an award or EOTM etc and the next day be laid off. if they dont just make you quit by giving you no hours first so you cant get unemployment. they hate criticism. i have seen instances where longterm employees have reached out to longtime friends, shareholders and managment of the company about the state of the company just to get fired. cm has extremely high standards which is a nice change of pace from other companys if it werent for the pay that is even or below par to surrounding companys. after being bought by airpros the new lead installer pay dropped from 45$ to 35$. morale is horrible within the install department due to such considering there is no peace rate. the service department and the install department are put at odds by CM by giving bonuses to service techs for finding anything wrong with install work (which then gives the install lead a call back which negates there entire bonus) what i can say in a general statement is that this company will pretend to care about you. but dont expect any effort from theyre side of the street, you will be putting in all of the effort in this employer/employee relationship, and you will most likely get burned or used. you will be nothing but a tool to this company, so if you are coming here to learn, expect to be let go the moment things get slow. if your coming here to be a lead and work, expect to make little to nothing. also benefits are absolutely atrocious for the amount of physical danger this job has, except for dental, the dental is amazing. also i wont go in to detail in order to keep anonymous but there is a huge amount of drama that contributes to such low morale. in conclusion this is no longer a people place. and giving critique to managment is essentially pointless, im not writing this thinking anything will change, im writing this so apprentices and leads who need to provide for there families STAY AWAY THERE IS BEATING CM HEATING for employees but as far as being a customer i highly reccomend it. the leads that do work here are under extreme pressure and those who handle it are some of the best you will meet and wont settle for anything less than perfect. this is not the place it used to be, and i wish we would buy back from airpros.

Dear Author, Thank you for taking the time to leave this review, and we totally understand why you are upset and concerned. It’s unfortunate, but many HVAC companies in the PNW are having a much slower late summer/early fall than expected. This September - for reasons out of our control - we have had significantly fewer installation calls than the prior year. This reality unfortunately put the company in a position where we were over staffed. We absolutely hate performing layoffs, but understand that no matter how we feel about it, it’s still much harder for the co-worker who is being let go. When we do have to make these decisions - which are always difficult - we try as best we can to be objective in our decision making process. It sounds like your position may have been one that was removed, and we’d like you to know that the decision wasn’t an easy one. We love our coworkers, but are unfortunately bound by some basic economic principals that most companies run by. If the business is losing money, it’s not going to be able to employ anyone for long. And so we had to make some very difficult choices to right-size the business. We are genuinely sorry that this action has impacted you, and are taking measures on our end to avoid actions like this in the future as best as possible. For now, we wish the author the very best of luck going forward and thank them for their service and hard work to CM Heating.

Pros

The stellar customer service reputation of this company and the company environment makes CM Heating a rising star for HVAC companies in the area. New people and ideas are being put in place making it an exciting time to be a part of it.

Cons

Hardly a con, but with changes and fast growth you have to "expect the unexpected"
