Pros

The promotion path is there for those who are willing to reach. Flexible hours provided you make up the required time before/after hours or on the weekend. Full benefits, 401K and optional vision/dental at an additional cost. Management is always there to listen and provide guidance, or pass concerns up the ladder. Hylant paychecks always clear and never bounce.

Cons

The company values a high return on individual investment (read: lower pay) and can have a problem paying or be very slow to pay expenses for travel and other expenses. Hylant managers may agree to pay before you do your part, but the managers have no power, and as such you may get the runaround for upwards of a year before they pay (typical response: "I've sent it in did they not approve it yet? I'll check on that for you." They send it up the chain only to be denied for various reasons, or they'll ask for the receipts multiple times after being provided over, and over again. Classic "we don't want to pay what we said we would pay" runaround). Hylant sometimes decides to flat out not pay reimbursement and bonuses for previously agreed to training and the resultant certifications, leaving the employee to deal with the financial ramification. I've spoken to three employees that have been promised bonuses and never delivered. There are more managers than workers - Hylant awards small promotions with big titles to retain talent. This leads to a typical small business environment complete with managers that think they're running Apple but fail to realize that the workers are walmart salary and overworked.

Pros

People, tech resources, and hybrid.

Cons

Sometimes felt like you couldn’t trust people, a lot of blame game verses growth by learning from mistakes, fixing and moving forward. Instead it’s blamed on this team or that team or or this team member with chatter behind your back. But mostly it was a great experience, they are a shady organization with lots of talent and resources. Just a few people that need to own up to stuff, and not do what it takes to advance at the expense of others. That’s all
