HERITAGE TRACTOR

This Job is not good if you have a family. They cut overtime hours just so they don’t have to pay them out. Also there is no HR department. Any legitimate question you have will get shoved to the next unknowing employee. Last but not least anybody “higher up” above your service manager looks at you as just a number. You will never see them but you will always feel the impact of their decisions. If you want to advance your position and experience do not work here. I applied for a position that I fit the experience for and was denied. The Job is currently sitting unfilled. There’s no growth opportunity at Heritage Tractor.

Worked for heritage for several years and at multiple locations. Don’t get it twisted the work to life balance for people who ACTUALLY work inside the dealership is horrible. 4-5 months out of the year you can’t even take PTO unless it’s something very very important. You work every single Saturday even if you work Monday through Friday. You may or may not get a lunch break..Be prepared to be screamed at by the customers all day while management sits in the office and lets it happen. Even in off season you have everyone else trying to rush and take their PTO so it’s hard to take time.. Pay is sub par.. Health insurance for anyone with dependents is unaffordable.

What is the best part of working at the company?
I loved the customers, most of the staff, and my job.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
There are some stores that those who cheat the system, not for their team, and don't take accountability for doing the bare minimum, seem to get heard over those who are putting their heart into the company. Gender does matter in some areas even if it is not voiced directly.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It used to good, but not stable of recent.

This company came in and swallowed up 2 already existing dealership groups in Illinois, within the first 2 months there were over 30 people fired or quit, due to the poor management that came in. We got told each of us already make “too much” and that raises are unlikely. They have active job listings that are starting out higher than people that have worked here 5+ years in that same position. There is no feeling of being more than a number to higher management ever since the acquisition. 

I have been here six plus months and I have to say people here are great to work with! Management checks in occoasionally, you have a voice that is listened to here, and lots of opportunity! As a mechanic there is so much going on, some awesome capabilities we have here and some things that could have some change to make us better and more efficient with all that we have going on!

What is the best part of working at the company?
They dont care about employees.  

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
They expect you to reach goals but offer no help in getting there 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Store manAger expects everyone else to do his job. So ge can go do other things not job related  

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Stressful and long. Not help from the manager.

At least in my shop management doesn't try the whole "we're a family here". They don't make a big deal about using your pto and you gain it fairly fast. They let you do your job without hassling you. Every time I've had trouble working on a machine the other techs had no problem helping me out. The labor incentive is nice as well, I've seen guys get anywhere from $200-$2000 a month bonus.

What is the best part of working at the company?
I get to work on new John Deere products

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The long hours during the busy season.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very poor. The managers lye to the works daily. The overall moral in company is horrible. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I get to work. I examine my to-do list. I start on the list and work my way through as much as possible.

Heritage Tractor was growing by leaps and bounds when I worked there. They were buying stores left and right. Never a dull moment. Fast paced environment. Made the days go by quickly. Up to date on technology and always looking forward ways to improve efficiency. Overtime was always available. Great coworkers who were always willing to help when needed. 

After second merger the company went down hill fast. Raised shop rates and service call rates and added a mileage rates for different distances from shop before you even got to job site. Upper management only cares about themselves. Over 30 people quit or were fired first two months. Sales salaries went to 36,000 a year. Made it hard for them it make commission have to sell over 20 million dollars in equipment won’t work with customers on trades or buying used equipment
