The job itself is very easy and I don't think I've ever had a collective group of coworkers that I've enjoyed working with more, however management can come across as quite toxic at times. The VP in charge literally barks at people to shut them down. Supervisors have to walk a line between enforcing upper management directives while simultaneously admitting that not all objectives are achievable. People have complained about the company taking your PTO when you call in sick, although I think that's honestly more of an industry standard these days. If they send you home for a weather related emergency, the company WILL pay you for the day and they won't dock your PTO. PTO accrues bi-weekly, and can be scheduled as far in advance as you want, which is recommended, because they won't let more than one person per shift per department off at the same time. Request your time off far enough in advance and this shouldn't be a problem, as long as you figure that everyone else is going to want days off around the holidays, too. Currently, PTO is 128 hours per calendar year plus 7 paid holidays, and time rolls over, so yiu can accrue up to a max of 128 hours, at which point you'll stop accruing time. The medical benefits are very affordable and the company covers dental and vision insurance. They also offer a matching 401K program. They also have monthly incentives if our error rate stays beneath a certain threshold and sales hits their monthly goal. There isn't much room for advancement right now, many people have either resigned or been terminated over the last few months, and the majority of them have not been replaced. Morale is low right now. Management often seems tone deaf to the concerns of their staff. It's a mixed bag. 

I have been working here for over two years. At first the job sounds great, management sounds great, other coworkers sound great. I would say 80% is a lie. Almost every job here is amazingly simple. But some people still find a way to mess up. They promoted people when they were just starting out here in Louisville and majority of those people are still in lead position even though they didn't and still don't have the skills or knowledge to be in those positions. You are not giving much training, pretty much just figure it out yourself as you go. Management seriously plays favorite and its usually with the employees that do the least amount of work. The second you're on certain managers radar you can no longer do anything right and they will watch you like a hawk just to catch you doing anything wrong, so they have reason to yell at you. Certain people are allowed to get away with standing around and talking, going to the bathroom for more than 15 minutes every hour, taking longer breaks, clocking in or out wherever they want instead of at their stations. Also, their PTO rules are not great. Only one person in a whole department can be off on a particular day. Has to be put in at least 5 workdays in advance. But if you're management you can don't really have to give any notice and you do not get pointed for calling out. If you call in sick, they take your PTO no matter what and you still get a full point for it. For a half point you would think you either come in late for half of your shift or leave early after half of your shift but no, late arrival is two hours after the start of your shift and leaving early means only two hours early as well.

A typical day at Hercules includes working at your verify own station within a (climate control) warehouse. 

We have many departments to choose from like, Shipping, Receiving, Kitting, Auto Store/Zone 11/Picking, Cycle Count, MIM/ machine shop, Cylinders, & KOF. 
Regardless of which department you choose, we offer cross training. Which gives you room to grow within the company. 
Everyone is friendly, including Management. We have a fun and exciting atmosphere constantly learning new things. We are a team and help one another when needed.

The hardest part of the job is paying attention. Making sure you have the right parts. Which isn't hard at all.
We have excellent benefits, pkus extras like a Perfect attendance program, a Christmas bonus, and Referral hiring bonus. Health, Dental, and Eye Insurance. 401K matches 50% up to 6% contribution. 

The Most Enjoyable Part of my job is knowing that our Company cares about us, our safety, and making sure we are Heard! 
Not to mention our fun activities like March madness basketball tournament, KY Derby games and contest, or corn hole. 
Yes I love my job, my boss, and all the extras. Highly recommend joining our team! 

Typical day at work: you clock in, work, then go home
There is always something to be learned no matter how long you've been there
Workplace culture: VERY low morale. Constant changes. People getting fired or afraid to get fired over the smallest mistake. Toxic work environment due to workplace drama. 
Hardest part of job: Coming to work 
Enjoyable part of job: The work itself is not hard, and the building is climate controlled

Overall opinion: I used to really like working there when I first started. Now I can't wait to leave that place once I have another job lined up. Hercules can really be a great place to work if only the management would figure out how to bring the employee morale back up and not breathe down everyone's neck and put people in a panic over losing their jobs over the smallest things. That place is really going to go downhill if they don't figure something out soon and those higher up will figure it out sooner or later, or maybe they just don't care I don't know. It's a shame really

This isn't necessarily a bad company to work for. Each day brings about different challenges, but it is mostly repetition once you learn what is required at your position on a daily basis. There are pros and cons as with every job though limited chances to advance to higher positions. Overall, I've enjoyed my time working here, but I also believe in keeping your options open for better opportunities when presented.

At first, Hercules may tell you all the “good”, like they are work/life balanced, nice raises, fun environment.. Do yourself a favor and run. 
Management does not know how to manage. There is lack of common communication in all departments, and throughout all of management. They don’t care about your life or family problems. If you’re sick or your child is sick, they take your PTO without consent, and give you an attendance occurrence. Also, if you have a child they DO NOT accept children’s Dr notes. I’ve been here for 2 years, and they constantly change up the rules to benefit themselves. Do not apply here.

You’re Watched And Surveilled Daily Via Laptop Or The Many Cameras In The Departments Like You’re A Criminal. Every Mistake Gets Put On Paper. Work Environment Is Extremely Toxic. Its The Warehouse Manager’s Way Or The Highway However Wrong This Person Is Or May Be! Many Workers Were Fired Or Let Due To Warehouse Manager’s Toxic Attitude Workplace Environment. Warehouse Manager Makes It Where You’re Ducking And Dodging Thee Toxicity Daily. 

Simple, easy work with a climate controlled building. As long as you show up to work you are fine. Only allowed 3 doctor’s notes in a year before you start getting points which don’t fall off for a year so don’t get sick. No advancement as the warehouse has only been open a couple of years and other than becoming a “lead”, which only gets you another $1 an hour, there is no promotions or raises given. Also there are always issues going on between the 1st shift and 2nd shift so enjoy the high school drama. 

We earn PTO biwkly.  However if we call in sick they not only take our pto they point us as well.  You are only allowed 3 Dr notes a year.  If you leave work early due to an illness you are pointed for that..if you schedule your time off in advance you are good however who knows that they are going to be sick a wk from now.  If we earn it we should NOT be punished for using it as we wish. We should only be given pts of we have no PTO available. Non of this borrowing time from the future.  

Hercules is a great place to work. I worked as a sales team leader in the office. I managed a small group and we worked together to sell seals to customers to repair hydraulic cylinders. Management is fair and mostly stays out of the way. all phone calls are monitored and reviewed. The hardest part of the job is the strick shipping cut off time and the rush of customers with last-minute orders. The most enjoyable part is some of the regular customers and working as a team.
