Pros

There are no pros to working at HIIG unless you are desperate for a paycheck. I took this job because there wasn't anything else available at that time. And, I was lied to in the interview about benefits.

Cons

This company will beat you down. All the negative reviews are true. No bonus, no 401k contribution, micro managed about bathroom breaks, lid on cup like a toddler, no cell phones, no pictures on the walls, mgmt. berates staff like we are insolent children, and mgmt. will dock your timesheet if you are away from your desk "too long", no holiday celebration or decorations, oh wait, they have a timed two hour buffet with an open bar at a Mexican restaurant and that is your year end bonus. HIIG does not care for the emotional or physical health and well being of staff. My department has 9 staff member turnover in a total of 4 available positions in a year and a half. That speaks for itself.

Pros

Office Space is decent They have a Keurig Machine. That's about it

Cons

Where do I start. Fabricated deadlines so that employees are constantly stressed and overworked, especially in accounting Zero recognition for work accomplished. Only nitpicking and fault finding. No clue how to motivate employees 100% turnover - I couldn't get out of there fast enough And my number one complaint - I did not trust management. The first few times I was lied to, I just thought is was a miscommunication. After a while, I noticed a pattern. Made my skin crawl

Pros

Lower level staff are friendly and form family like bonds to shelter and give shoulders to each other for all the abuse from management.

Cons

NO RAISES OR BONUSES (even if promised, don't kid yourself) SUB PAR SALARIES (once you look around at the job market you will soon notice that in your role you could be making 30-40% more at a real company) NO CAREER GROWTH (they do not promote from within. If you do get "promoted" it will be a lateral move with no pay increase) HORRIBLE BENEFITS NO 401K MATCHING (CEO claims that it is in the works, do not count on it) CLOCKING IN & OUT (lower level employees are forced to clock in and out even for lunch breaks, management constatnyl monitoring your hours and punches) PETTY RULES & POLICIES (no headphones at your cubicle, no mugs or open containers at your desk, no cell phones out unless you are executive level or higher, employees in offices can not have their blinds raised, the list goes on and on and keeps growing) HALF CUBICLES (no real privacy, the office structure is so that superiors can constantly monitor you) HORRIBLE PTO (no sick days, you only get 10 holidays and 14 PTO days which your sick days are also pulled from. You only gain additional PTO days after being there for 3 years!! They also no longer let you take unpaid PTO days and goodluck taking off during the holiday season.) HORRID CEO (it is a dictatorship. the CEO is constantly feared by all staff. Executives, Presidents, and Vice Presidents will throw any and all employees under the bus to save themselves.)
