Growing HVAC

Talent Acquisition Associate

June 2023 • Fort Collins, CO

What I liked

I moved from being the company’s Marketing/Research Intern to bring a Talent Acquisition Associate. I had plans to move to Chicago after graduating so when Michael offered me a full-time remote job with him, I jumped on it. I love working for this company mostly due to the great culture. It’s a supportive environment that promotes growth and development. I enjoy getting to talk to so many people across the country and have developed my sales skills immensely. There are high expectations in this role, but all learning tools and resources are provided by the owner.

What I wish was different

I could rave about the company and Michael Johnson non-stop. However, since moving to Chicago and working remote, I do miss the in-person interactions I used to get while working on-site for Growing HVAC.

Advice

Be open to learning new skills! I never thought I’d be in a sales role and it was very uncomfortable at first. However, comparing my conversational skills now to how they were before working here, it’s insane how much I’ve learned and grown.

Marketing Intern

January - June 2023 • Fort Collins, CO

What I liked

Michael Johnson is the best employer I’ve worked under. He is a teacher and a learner. He offered his in depth sales knowledge and understanding of the industry to excel my professional skills. He is always transparent and open about his expectations, but makes it an open conversation. As I mentioned, he’s a learner too and values team contribution. I was able to build a portfolio out of the work we did together, I have developed my professional knowledge and skills immensely through this role.

What I wish was different

It would have been cool to work in a team to bounce ideas off of other interns. However, being the only intern allowed me to grow at a much faster rate and build a close relationship with management.

Advice

To future employees of Growing HVAC, be open and transparent with Michael. He appreciates honest feedback and makes a sincere effort to provide the most valuable experience for his employees.
