Hillenbrand

In before 8 a.m., attend meetings all day, work at night. There is a culture of mistrust at all levels in the organization.

Management is oppressive, spends all day micro-managing, providing no clear direction, questioning all decisions down to the lowest level. They take advantage of the fact that most of the employees are a captive audience - in and around batesville with few options.

Hardest part of the job is protecting your people, maintaining your identity, and working with integrity.

The best part of the job is free soda, lots of free lunches, some really good people in a bad place, and quitting time.

If your unemployment benefits have run out, you just graduated from college and don't know any better, or you are a masochist, this company is for you.

A typical day started by picking up and sort mail picked up at local post office. I took call from other buildings on pick up and deliveries for "rush routes". Things like airline tickets from our travel department and proofs from our Graphic Arts department for approval from their customers.
Processed Upa and Fedex packages . Determined how to ship for the customers and track packages as needed for incoming and outgoing packages.

A typical day was meeting with my Manager who was on the Communications team. I learned really a ton of really cool things such as what it meant to create advertisements that were within brand standard. The management was a true team setting. The culture was unparalleled, we had tons of fun activities throughout the entire summer. For me, the hardest part of the job was driving from Indianapolis, Indiana to Batesville, Indiana as the commute was about an hour each way. The most enjoyable part of the job was the people I met. 

Good culture, seems to care, works to make environment fun and enjoyable, with mixed results. However, organization is trying to find itself. Processes are tribal and undocumented. Lots of inexperienced people working to figure out their job and their place. Experienced people seem to be thought of as lesser assets to younger eager new employees.

What is the best part of working at the company?
They will get everything  they can from you and when you feel like an asset. They will let you go due to management short comings

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Every day will be stressful unless  they change  everything 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Remember  your an at will employee  and you do not matter

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Dog and pony show from start to finish think udders on a bull

Batesville Casket (Hillenbrand) was not a positive environment to work in. There was too much in-fighting within the upper levels of
management. Home life was effected by the work schedule which
consisted of only one Saturday off per month. Finally bad decisions by unqualified leadership consistently undermined all project goals
and accomplishments.

It has been less than a year since I've joined Hillenbrand Inc but from the first day I felt I had chosen a good company to work for. The benefits are very good and the wage is comparable to similar jobs with competing companies. The management at this particular location is outstanding. They are very helpful, caring, patient and very willing to teach the necessary skills for you to be successful.

Deep talent pool. Bottom line and delivering share holder value is the constant focus. Declining market for products has forced BCC to make tough decisions in personal, manufacturing and company structure.

Doing what was asked of me. I learned that hard work pays off. The management was cool. The workplace culture was ok. the job wasn't really that hard. The fun part of the job was when they gave away things

Good place to work at if you fit the culture and don't mind living or commuting to Batesville.

Your job satisfaction will depend greatly on who is your supervisor. Some are super good and care about you and your development. Others, not no much...
