H&K Group

The hardest part of the job was waking up to go to that place. One shouldn’t feel that way when getting ready for work. Management sucks, foreman’s to district sups.  They  tell you want you want to hear then put you somewhere and forget about you. They do not care about you or your safety.  There are pay differentials for working nights. Make sure you ask about that because higher management will act like they don’t know about it.  I met a lot of other employees they are good people  and still talk to after having quit. H&K puts on a good act… all the nice new equipment, shiny trucks, big fancy offices and meeting rooms,  their own printing shop (ie.., shirts, jackets, cups, directors chairs, pens, baby clothes. Yea you read that correctly. How about paying full price to outfit your child in H&K attire.lmao)  it is my understanding that they do not have a lot of work going on right now and it past starting season. They have seasoned operators doing maintenance and cleaning up trash around the shops instead of being in the field. They are a high turnover company. 
About the only thing positive I can really say about the company is they do take care of the equipment. The mechanics are on top of everything there. Small engines to all the heavy equipment, oil changes, to air pressures. 
Oh yea, the bennifits are nice. Mine were paid for 100% and it cost me around $17 dollars a week to have my child fully coverd. If you need a place to pass through or just good bennys, I suppose try your luck there. It wasn’t for me. 

The pay is trash for what you're doing to yourself unless you're on a rate job. Most of the foremen are miserable a holes. The travel is asinine, you'll have one outfit 10 mins from a jobsite but you'll be pulled to go from over an hour away. You won't be paid for mileage unless it's over 50 air miles away lol. You'll get sent all over the place, location can be months at a job site to day by day travel. Shop rate is lower than what some fast food places pay. Really the only redeeming things H&K has is the ability to make good money on rate jobs and the health insurance being subsidized by it (it was provided by the company from the money it received from fringe benefits, was never expressly told what percentage or how much was taken for it though). And you'll meet good coworkers. There are some good supervisors but most could care less about you Great place to work if you like being yelled at by men with fragile egos

Busy, wearing many different hats

For the majority of positions, every job ad should just say labor.  Even HR said, they do not hire construction professionals. They will lie to you in your interview. If you're not prepared to be a laborer first do not expect to get into a job that you are specifically hired for. This is a trash company. And any future ads that I see will be reported to the FTC.  HR is basically clueless about everything that goes on within that company.

This place has the highest turn over rate for mechanics cuz there pay is terrible and there is no respect for the employee

My overall experience in this role was significantly impacted by the management style within the organization. Communication was often unclear or inconsistent, which made it difficult to understand expectations or priorities. Leadership frequently overlooked employee feedback, and decisions were made without transparency or explanation.

Ok place to work. Trucks for the most part are old.  Safety is not priority because some of their trucks get up to 70+ mph and the faster they go to and from deliveries, the more they love you until the truck breaks or you get a DOT inspection.  Some drivers have had many accidents and violations. When you sign on with them you are them.
