Where Veterans are Wired for Success
November 5, 2020
CoolSys has grown to a company of 2,642 employees, including 1,900 HVAC-R installation and service technicians, serving 4,000 customers at 40 locations in 29 states across the U.S. We’ve done it with the help of a highly regarded group of people—our U.S. military veterans.
A cornerstone of CoolSys as an organization is our active support of U.S. military veterans during the often-challenging transition back to civilian life. We recognize that many of the qualities required for military success translate well to the attributes of a valued employee—leadership, teamwork, integrity, and performance under pressure, to name a few.
It is due to this acknowledgment underscored by our own veteran leadership, that we’ve been pursuing the mutually beneficial initiative of actively recruiting discharged U.S. military veterans to CoolSys for almost 15 years.
Veterans can use their skills to succeed here
The veteran members of our CoolSys leadership team include Adam Coffey, CoolSys President and CEO, U.S. Army Veteran; Robert Brinzer, RSI President and General Manager, U.S. Navy Seal; and Fred Stockert, CoolSys VP of Operations, Marine Corps.
Thanks in part to the first-hand insight from these executives, CoolSys understands the benefits that veterans bring to our team. CoolSys currently employs 124 U.S. military veterans as members of our workforce.
At CoolSys, veterans find a comfortable place in an organization that operates with the same values and structure that is familiar to those who have served in the U.S. military. Here, our veterans have the opportunity for post-military success, with access to a full benefits package and formal training and development opportunities to advance their careers to their greatest potential and desire.
Those who serve deserve our recognition
CoolSys’ dedication to our U.S. military veterans recently garnered mainstream attention on the TV show, Military Makeover. Military Makeover’s special edition, Operation Career, tells the stories of military veterans who successfully transitioned out of the military and back to civilian life.
The episode featuring CoolSys showed our company’s commitment to making a lasting difference in the lives of veterans by putting them on a clear path toward a successful post-military career, both for themselves and for the benefit of their families.
Our dedication to thanking our military members for their service extends to our Veterans Day celebrations. To express our gratitude for their brave service, each veteran employed by CoolSys is given an extra day off work, as well as given a commemorative Veteran’s Coin as a keepsake.
