Pros

there is no pro's, this company is insane

Cons

Let me use the following words to describe the type of work environment in this company; Huntington learning center. Hostile, crazy, adverse, belligerent, bitter, Contentious, contrary, hateful, inhospitable, inimical, nasty. You will experience nothing but hate and ridicule. You will feel as if you are back in high school and all the kids are talking about that massive zit on your face. This company runs like a sweat shop, you will be watched and monitored 24-7 and be told you are never good enough. If you think working with kids can be fun, you are correct, is it rewarding to work with kids, but you not at HLC. Go work at hospital where the children will be respective and appreciate of all that you do. This company had decided to strip all of its employees of its morals and dignity. They begin with a brain wash, the blow smoke up your butt, then finish off with anther brain washing session. The most valuable thing that you can take away from reading this is NOT to work here. The CEO has had legal actions brought against himself and the company. Take a minute and read the other reviews, and google this company. Google it and let all the hatred and ridicule come out and be heard. I can’t tell you how many times I thought of possibly siting at a corner with one of those signs that read “Lunch specials only $4.99, Special!” Freezing my butt off than return to work. They make you work MORE THAN LEGAL amount of hours on a daily basis and don’t pay you for @#$%^&. They are always understaffed, and can never find enough teachers or people to work ( for $10 an hour….who the heck are you going to find at that price point) the turnover is absolutely insane. They can hire 10 people, and maybe 1 will stay for a month. By this time, a RED WARNING bell should be going off in your head NOT TO WORK HERE! This company one day will eventually go under for all the nonsense that they try and cover up legally and secretively. Working at Walmart as a greeter would bring you more happiness and joy than to work in a fiery pit of unruly disgust. The operations management control you a puppet and are attached to you like a baby and their mother’s umbilical cord. They have a way for not paying you for anything and always “forgetting” to pay you. They never close, and will always be open, during holidays, snow storms, and any event they will try and ruin for you. They make you put in a request 30 days in advance ( um hello, I didn’t know I was going to be sick a month ago!!!) they are just the craziest, stupidest, un ethical company to work for! Whatever job you take, spare yourself by not working here, and if, for whatever reason you decide to, sharpen a pencil, because by the end of the day on your first day you’ll be poking out your eye.

We are disappointed to learn about your negative feelings regarding your experience at Huntington.

We ask that if you are open to providing additional insight into the serious nature of some of your concerns, please contact me directly when you have an opportunity at RotinoJ@hlcmail.com. It’s no secret, the work environment at Huntington is fast paced, ever changing and requires staff to commit to “un-traditional” working hours. With this in mind, the schedule requirements are clearly presented upfront before one ever begins working with the company. We understand the time commitment is not feasible for all staff; and, in response, have done our best to work out a more flexible alternative. Part-time teacher schedules have been and remain very flexible. At Huntington, employees are asked to adhere to our Mission Statement and to follow our Code of Ethics and are expected to conduct their business with a high degree of morality, professionalism, and honesty – not only towards our clients, but to one another as team members. Our Mission is to give every student the best education possible. As a direct result of adherence to our principles, we achieve superior results with our students. 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. Overall compensation packages for full-time center staff are competitive within the industry. Total earnings are based upon performance to goals and expectations, which are clearly mapped ahead of time. In order to achieve success to goals, all team members are supported and motivated by management, as well as the corporate departments. Hard work, dedication, and commitment to our students and families, along with the business, are a requirement of Huntington employees. These sentiments are clearly expressed from the beginning. By keeping all this in mind, it’s an excellent opportunity to make a difference in the lives of children while enjoying a satisfying and rewarding professional career.
