Pros

Solid mission that the staff genuinely tries to adhere to. Most employees care about the children and families.

Cons

Where to begin?!? There is absolutely no trust, no loyalty, no work-life balance, and no fun allowed at Huntington. The company is a dinosaur run by owners with business ethics from the Mad Men era. People are spoken to in the nastiest way possible, accused of trying to do a bad job, publicly belittled, criticized, etc. I have seen countless meetings held up just to ridicule a VP over their choice of Excel column headings. Workload expectations go beyond all reason and there are never enough staff on board. Benefits are virtually non-existent, although they will tell you how wonderful their package is - laughable! Employees are treated as if Huntington should be their #1 priority, as if they are reaping the same benefits as the owners are, when nothing could be further from the truth with the low pay and poor benefits. Others on here have mentioned brain-washing and that is exactly it. They treat people so badly that you feel you can't go anywhere or do anything else. On top of this from the owners, there 150 franchisees who will treat you just as badly! Franchisees despise the company owners so they take it out on the employees. It is a cycle of negativity and harassment. In a nutshell, if you work here you will be treated like the dirt on the bottom of a shoe.

Huntington Learning Centers Response

While we appreciate your feedback and understand that your view of the company is very negative, the facts do not support your comments. We pride ourselves on the results we achieve with our students and franchisees. In about 3 months we increase student math by 1.2 grade levels and reading by 1.0 grade levels. In about 2 ½ months we increase student SAT scores by 192 points or their ACT scores by 4.2 points. These student results combined with the support we offer our franchisees have propelled our franchised centers to the top of our industry: the revenue at our franchised centers exceeds the revenue of our nearest franchise competitor by 50%. We achieve these results with a dedicated focus on meeting the needs of our students and franchisees and following a strict Code of Ethics as we do so. Virtually everyone in the company and franchise system knows our Mission Statement, which is to give every student the best education possible. This is remarkable, since, in most companies, mission statements are rarely known by any appreciable percent of employees. Our results, Mission, and Ethics are at odds with your experience. Our benefit package is top notch, with a matching 401k plan and miniscule annual increases in the payments we ask employees to make for their health and dental care coverages, coverages that are at the top of the scale in benefits. As we enter our 4th decade, we continue to pride ourselves on having a transparent, honest, and hard-working culture and would be interested in learning more about your specific perspective. Please contact me directly when you have an opportunity at RotinoJ@hlcmail.com.
