Former Employee – worked at Hudson Group full-time for more than a year

Pros – There were great middle managers at the company - I felt like my immediate superiors knew what they were talking about and were empathetic to my needs as well as the customers'.

Cons – The overall person running the company didn't seem to entirely have his act together - he's been replaced, from what I've heard. Other than that and a focus on sales I didn't see any problems.

Current Employee – been working at Hudson Group part-time for less than a year

Pros – Coworkers (at least the ones in my store) are very friendly, all having worked for Hudson 5-7 years; willing to work with you, help you.

Cons – Management very condescending (on good days) or rude (on bad days). Salary, though higher than most customer service jobs, is woefully low compared to the work done everyday --and don't get me started on the taxes/ withheld pay!

Advice to Senior Management – Remember that sales associates are people too, basically the ones that made Hudson News into the legitimate global business it is today.

Former Employee – worked at Hudson Group full-time

Pros – It was fun. I enjoyed it.

Cons – Not much chances to move up in the company unless you move to a new city.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Current Employee – been working at Hudson Group full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – Hudson's focus on customer service can do a great deal to train up skills on dealing with people.

Cons – Hudson "strongly encourages" all salaried employees to work at least 50 hours a week. This, combined with a tight payroll, can means store managers often find themselves working on register four or five days a week, in addition to their managerial duties.

Current Employee – been working at Hudson Group full-time for more than a year

Pros – Some of the people working there are very nice and pleasant to work

Cons – Then you have the management team, whom are lazy and don't care about the workers but are more focus on making money.

Advice to Senior Management – Stop taking coffee breaks and sitting on your behind the whole day and do some work!

Current Employee – been working at Hudson Group

Pros – Very casual work atmosphere. No pressure. Very "9-5". The office building has a gym and cafeteria.
Nice space.

Cons – Senior mgt has been there forever just waiting to retire. Not motivational. No career growth or training. The dead zone.

Advice to Senior Management – Replace VP of HR with new blood. Stop phony Las Vegas rah rah and really implement meaningful career growth.
