Pros

Good pay for the area and industry. Still a few people left who care about the product they produce.

Cons

When United Technologies owned Sullair, it was a good place to work. Values were high and they appreciated experience. Since the Carlyle group and BC partner bought them, it has become the place you hear about when private equity companies take over. There are only a few remaining people that know anything about compressors. Any employee that raises a question about quality, the policies, or decisions are openly told "if you don't like it, then leave". Only join this company as a for-now job. No longer an ethical company.

Pros

Decent pay, good work-life balance

Cons

Leadership at the director level is consistently poor and one of the company’s biggest liabilities. Many directors lack the basic communication, accountability, and people-management skills required to lead teams effectively. Feedback is routinely ignored, follow-through is unreliable, and decision-making often feels arbitrary or politically driven. The company also does not honoring two-week notice periods, immediately terminating employees after they resign. This practice is unprofessional and short-sighted, sending a strong message that respect only goes one way. It creates a culture of fear, discourages transparency, and damages the company’s credibility with current and future employees.
