Really appreciate your service time here and hope that we can continue to be your employer of choice. On the health benefits side - understand that we have a passion for making sure the value of our benefits match the cost. We're doing some different things for 2019, including reducing some deductibles, eliminating the spousal surcharge and consolidating our high deductible plans to keep the zero cost, employee only plan. I am hopeful these changes will help to reduce the burden of health care costs. Please let us know if you have other ideas on how to manage the escalating costs of health care. We are always open to your perspective.

Pros

Company takes care of its' employees. Provides excellent benefits, promotes from within. Room for advancement if you work @ Corporate.

Cons

Immature high school like environment from technicians. No room for administrative advancement in the Austin area. You would need to re-locate to Dallas or San Antonio.

Game of Thrones Political Environment

Anonymous employee
Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Autonomy, flexibility, work-life balance (in some departments) and great owners.

Cons

Not a good place for women to advance and still has many sexist comments being made to women from very high levels of leadership. In addition, this is the most politically charged environment I have ever worked--all of the SR VPS are trying to win the owners' approval and it causes a very toxic working environment. They do not pay market value and managers are not empowered. Leadership gets angry if you try to move ahead in the company. Titles don't mean anything here and incompetence is rewarded. In addition the "Values Based Leadership" is a joke--leadership only uses the values when they are convenient. Some departments do not agree with work-life balance.

I am very sorry that this is your take-away from the time you spent here at HOLT. Having written so recently, I am sincerely disappointed that you may have also left recently without taking advantage of the many ways to escalate concerns in the Company. I can share that we take issues like you have described very seriously. We wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors and encourage you to let someone know when you are struggling to this level.
