Pros

Nice office, many great and hardworking people. Many good opportunities because of the name. Was once a great place to work...

Cons

Prison rules with many cliques...unhealthy, very stressful environment. Ridiculous expectations and hours with little to no ROI. No concept of balance between work and home. Many want to come to Hill because of the reputation and presence within the industry. Once in, many wonder what all the Hype is about. They want robots and not employees. Bonus is discretionary and only doled out to those who brown nose well. They are really playing with people's livelihoods and that is unacceptable. Many depend on the bonus/commission to take care of their families. When only the "select" few receive said bonus, it makes one wonder. They cannot dangle the proverbial carrot in front of people's faces and expect people to wait, hope and pray that they get this supposed bonus. Many other companies out there pay commissions on a monthly or quarterly basis with some sort of "explainable" formula as to how they came up with the figures. Don't expect that sort of logic here. Did I mention the nepotism? The Hills have let others run the company and those people are really killing what used to be great. Many good employees have left. Way too many changes with no accountability on upper management's part. Perhaps its not the employees that are the problem but possibly middle to upper management?

Pros

You receive one remote day after 6 months.

Cons

This company has been the worst-managed place I've ever worked. My direct supervisor was often clueless and would gaslight or blame us whenever things went wrong, creating a hostile environment. Instead of stepping in to help when the workload was too much or mistakes were being made, she would make us feel bad and blame us for everything. It's clear that there needed to be some restructuring on her end, as she is inexperienced and unqualified to be a manager. The workload kept increasing, and I often ended up doing the job of two employees. The emotional labor was unbearable, having to pretend everything was fine and engage in forced small talk with management. I hated being scapegoated. Additionally, the head of HR is very unprofessional, which unfortunately reflects the company's standards. Run don’t walk away from this place!
