Terrible place to work

Pros

I cannot think of any

Cons

President does not know how to manage in the 21st century. He has outdated methods and does not respect his employees. Managers are terrible. Most of them should not be in mgmt. but because they are "yes" men or women he keeps them. No one is held accountable for their actions so the bulk of work falls on the few competent employees. When they finally hire a good person, they quit within a short time because they recognize it's not a good place to work. Bonuses and raises are not linked to performance and are extremely low. I would not recommend this place to anyone I like.

Pros

A good group of hard workers who are not in management.

Cons

Management is horrible. There is no planning involved, and the only way anything every gets done is if it is a reaction to something that went horribly wrong due to negligence. If it was not for the engineers, and technicians everything would have fallen apart. The people who end up trying to fix everything because of managements ineptitude end up working 10-12 hour days, and get no recognition for it. If you are not one of the liked employees, odds of you getting a good raise are pretty slim. This is well known that Hydac plays favorites. As of now many of the current employees are looking for a new job so they will have a ton of openings in the future, but it is due to all of current employees leaving.

Pros

Financially sound growing company with many hard working employees.

Cons

Outdated policies will eventually catch up with the company and discourage talented individuals from being recruited. Office workers can't work remotely even during inclement weather without forfeiting a half day PTO despite the expectation to work a full day.
