Hilco Vision

Work-life balance
There is no work-life balance.  You will be expected to work when and as long as they want or else face consequences.  Meanwhile, management leaves right on time nearly every day.

Pay & benefits
Benefits are ok. Pay is below average especially for the amount of stress and work expected.

Job security and advancement
Zero job security.  It doesn’t matter what position you are in or if you have been there for years, nobody is safe.  Advancement is now reserved for anyone who can last more than a few months there and they end up being promoted out of desperation because they can’t hire anybody else.  Blatant favoritism is always involved.

Management
Management is toxic and ruining this company with their lack of experience and leadership. Can’t train. Can’t motivate. Provide no support, only negative feedback.  They are self-serving and do not value employee input.  Deceitful.  Do not trust them when they pretend to be a friend.  They will throw you under the bus in a heartbeat.

Culture
Culture is completely toxic and negative from the top. Anyone who tells you otherwise is trying to make the company look better than it is.

Overall
During this past year the experience has been awful.  A change in ownership, management and culture has caused this company to go downhill extremely rapidly.  They pushed out a lot of decent hard-working employees and now can’t get or keep new employees.  It is a disaster that they created themselves. I DO NOT recommend this workplace to anyone.

I have had a very positive experience working at Hilco Vision. The company provides a fast-paced manufacturing environment where employees have the opportunity to learn, grow, and take on new challenges. A typical day involves working closely with production, maintenance, quality, and leadership teams to improve processes and support operational goals.

One of the things I appreciate most is the collaborative culture. Management is approachable and encourages employees to share ideas and contribute to continuous improvement projects. The company invests in innovation and values employees who take initiative and help drive results.

The most enjoyable part of the job is seeing projects come to life and having the opportunity to make a measurable impact on productivity, quality, and cost savings. The work can be challenging at times, especially when balancing multiple priorities or responding to production issues, but those challenges also provide valuable learning experiences and professional growth.

Overall, Hilco Vision is a great place to work for individuals who enjoy problem-solving, teamwork, and continuous improvement.

If you are looking for a company that is in hyper speed growth, and where you can dive in and learn something new every day, this is the place for you. After having been here several months, I understand my role completely and I also have a firm grasp on how I can make an impact on a daily basis. Hilco Vision is growing very quickly, and there are and will continue to be opportunities for growth for those who work hard and embrace change. With growth comes change, and change can be hard on everyone! I am encouraged to work hard and keep moving the needle to help grow the organization, as well as to grow my own skills and qualifications. From day one, my manager and organizational leaders have been incredibly welcoming of me sharing my knowledge and skills in order to upgrade processes and to train others on those processes. I've never felt so supported in my role than I do now. While there isn't a defined culture or values on the wall, the organization began as a family-run business, and I think that everyone strives to maintain a familial feeling as much as possible, while understanding that this is a global company. It is truly exciting to be at a company that is growing so quickly! I enjoy challenges and love to celebrate wins, and if you do as well, this could be a great fit for you.

Hilco will try to sell you anything, the moon, the stars, a wonderful culture, growth opportunities, supportive management, etc. Then you'll very quickly realize that you will never get any of these things. What you will get is a clueless, weak management team trying to cover up their own failures and weaknesses who will not hesitate to throw you under the bus to save themselves. There is zero accountability for management, but you can guarantee they will be all over you for any little thing. Management sets employees up to fail. They don’t provide you with the training, the tools or the support you need to do the job properly. Then they blame YOU for any and all problems that arise. It is extremely stressful. If a company is constantly going through employees (as this one does) and the same issues continue, then clearly management is the problem, not the employees. They also slap band-aids on any and all issues without dealing with the root causes and expect things to change. They are then continually and inexplicably surprised and angry when they don’t. It is insanity here and not likely to change anytime soon especially with new ownership by a private equity firm where numbers are everything and employees mean nothing.

I would not recommend this company to anyone.   With some recent changes it is getting worse.  You’ll  get low pay & be overworked in pretty much any job here.  There is no appreciation for the work you do & if you are a good worker the only thing you’ll get is more work. You will be managed by 20 or 30 year olds who have no experience & poor management skills that got promoted basically because of favoritism, not by real professionals. The only thing they are doing is making people quit. There is little training & even less support for employees.  Management is too “busy” and above everything to be bothered. They only care about making themselves look good. They sit in offices & make ridiculous decisions because they have no idea how things actually work in the departments.  They are terrible at communicating with employees & treat people like dirt.  Jobs change without warning. No opportunity to advance.  This company does not care about the employees only profits. There is nothing but negativity from above & alot of people are unhappy.  People quit all the time so they are always  short on help. This company should realize that they will be nothing and will not grow  without good employees and good management.

Hilco is going through a lot of change currently, and it is for the better. Leadership is working to put the right people in management positions in order to help talent grow, and to foster a better culture. Leadership is asking us to shift our priorities and work in a different way than we previously have. When you have a lot of employees with long tenures, change is going to be received and perceived as really difficult, and that is what is happening now. The organization is working to improve things, and they are doing a great job. They sent a survey for employees to respond to how they handled COVID-19, and I have to say that it was done well. It isn't easy for a company to pivot quickly, but they were able to. They changed the formulation of the pre-moistened towelette wipes and added a higher alcohol content in order to increase demand. With that, came a lot of orders, and a lot of overtime. We were given weekly bonuses, and were paid double time for working overtime in the production facility. They expected a lot of us and they gave a lot to us.

A once great company has been ruined by new management.Employees are urged to submit ideas and solutions to a clueless management team  who are outside counting cigarette butts to address at daily meetings in order to “beautify” it’s business.Warehouse workers are bounced around from position to position bringing no stability to their respective departments and are reprimanded for not working “mandatory” overtime.Rules enforced by management are often broken by the managers themselves setting a terrible example.Favoritism is also an ongoing issue which has led to a high employee turnover ratio.I have never seen so many long term employees leave a company in such a short time but is to be expected after bearing witness to this circus.Promotions and bonuses are given to people based on liking them rather than credibility and potential.Forget about it people,this place is a bad joke and should be avoided at all costs.You’d be happier flipping burgers.

In general employees are overworked and underpaid. Not appreciated when they go above and beyond. The place is always understaffed because of high employee turnover. Raises are slim.   Employees are thrown into jobs without the proper training time and expected to be perfect. There is little opportunity for advancement, especially for women. The supervisors and leads are good but the managers are iffy. Some have a real lack of maturity, experience, and work ethic and seem to be promoted to Manager just because they have lasted there or they are a favorite of a higher-up.  Definitely wouldn’t be management anywhere else. Poor communication all around. Unrealistic expectations. Management is not always supportive of their employees and there are many hard workers who don’t get the recognition they deserve.  A little appreciation and letting people know they are doing a good job would go a long way. Benefits are good. Sometimes there are bonuses. IF some of these negatives change, it would be a pretty good place to work.
