Not all that great as they say it is - Marketing Hyland Employee Review

Nepotism is out of control. You are promoted by who you know. Boys club looking out for themselves and throw the rest into the path of the bus. Hyland used to be a great place to work until something changed at the end of 2015 early 2016 when department heads started letting managers run the department anyway they wished. Employee rules and guidelines differ by manager. Departments in non-customer facing roles received the blunt of the wrath. Perks and Work Life Balance became a thing of the past. Working overtime became mandatory and family outside of Hyland took a backseat. Some departments are required to work 45+ hours per week and 40+ hours if a holiday is within that week. The perks you read about are almost nil. Unless it is your own time off the clock. Employees get 2 x 20 minute breaks to enjoy the perks or a 30 minute lunch to do so. Many departments are over staffed and not much goes on, While some departments are understaffed and so busy that employees are required to finish projects and the normal workload within 50 hours or it will go on your review as a negative. Human Resources does not get involved with employee complaints as they will always side with the company. Not once have they ever sided with an employee when a concern is brought to them. Whatever the manager says to HR is the final answer. Managers friends and family members are always given the best projects that have the best chance for success and watched by the CEO.
