For me, it goes way beyond financial.  We all need to “pay the bills” but I’ve worked for a company who thru growth became less concerned with their employees and more concerned with profit margins.  They preached work/family balance but failed to practice what they preached.  In KE2 Therm I’ve found a group of people who understand what that means and more importantly practice it.  I was looking for balance and found it.  I wanted more than just a paycheck, I wanted to enjoy coming to work.  I wanted to be part of a TEAM, a place where every person is valued and I have found that in KE2 Therm.

There are many reasons why I joined KE2 Therm Solutions:

• Family value isn’t only in the credo of the company, like it is for many other companies, but it’s in their day to day actions that you can feel this value.
• As a refrigeration teacher in the 90’s, I always wanted to go away from mechanical timer defrost clock, since Europe got rid of that technology long ago, but even the electronic style controllers weren’t complete or user friendly.
• For the first time in my career I felt that as a team (Engineer, Marketing, Sales, IT, Web designer…) we really could make a difference in the refrigeration world with energy savings. I’ve often heard this comment in my numerous KE2 Therm seminars that “demand defrost” was one of the breakthroughs in refrigeration in the last 25-30 years.
• Being able to support remotely or locally the contractor and most of the time find problems are not related to KE2 Therm products. And, when I hear from installer, “You are able to help us, and you’re not even on the site”, I find this very gratifying.

There is a big distinction in working with an organization that is in the “industry” versus being in the “business.” I joined KE2 Therm to get back into the industry.

Being in the industry means we enjoy going to work, with the goal of helping our customers and their customers have a better experience with their refrigeration systems. Each day we get to interact with a wide range of contractors and refrigeration equipment owners who recognize we are making their life better with refrigeration control and communications solutions that actually help them. Being in the industry means we are not only focused on our business, but we are helping others get the most out of their businesses. It is great to work at a company where you know your efforts are appreciated by co-workers and customers.
