Holland-Lp

Holland is very average at every thing and not great at anything. Employees are greatly underpaid, we are understaffed (at least my group) and then expect us to do everything. Not to mention they are opening a new division in Australia but expect us to carry on and not hire more people or increase out pay. Since I worked here I’ve been lied to about my salary, overworked, lied to about them “helping me further my career”. Even though I’ve told different team members I’d like to advance and try other things and that this role isn’t for me. Nothing ever gets done, it’s honestly just been a horrible experience for me personally. One of the dumbest policies is that PTO and Sick days are the same thing they aren’t separate, whoever made this policy a thing needs to be fire. There’s barely any time off you can take and that leads to high stress.  My recommendation is to stay clear of this company if you really need to work for a few months then quit it’s really not worth it. 

Long hours and remaining on-call everyday is required, in order to be successful.  Working with the railroads is enjoyable and rewarding.  This company has historically been the best place to have a long career but, the current CEO and his executive management team have changed that.  

Most management team members are now hired from external sources and a lot of opportunities have been filled without even considering / interviewing internal candidates.  This has lead to a lot of resignations from great managers/potential managers that eventually get tired of reporting to and being chastised by a "boss" that does not know what they are doing.

"Customers first" is NOT an accepted practice which causes great concern for the future of this company, since it is heavily realiant on serving just 7 class 1 railroads to sustain the core business.

Compensation and management is a joke. Weekly checks are always being docked and told you're not paid for hours worked that you should clearly be paid for. Like meetings. Fly time. Hours spent driving in your personal vehicle (long distance 14+ hours). You're required to bunk and share a hotel room with another employee so there is no privacy, and no possibility to see family while you're traveling for work which is 3-4 weeks straight with no time home. 
Management is unprofessional and not employee friendly. They treat you as though everything is coming out of their pocket and don't look out for their employees. Hence not getting paid for work hours that by law you should be paid for!

you are nothing but a number to this company. The Atlanta Norfolk Southern plant was built in the 1930s and has been rigged every time something breaks to just keep going. There has been little to no improvement at the plant and employees have to "make do" with certain tools. They expect you to work overtime with no notice while telling you not to go over 40 hours a week. The benefits are good but the pay isn't up to par. The overhead cranes are in disrepair and are a great danger to anyone working around them. I have been at this job for 8 months and came in with great expectations only to be disappointed, as the rest of my coworkers are.

This place is ran like the students are in charge. The management teams are very unprofessional, they lie to you about incentives, bonuses, cost of health insurance, very slow with reimbursement checks (if ever). Husband and wife teams which made it very awkward (especially when they would bring their personal issues to the office). I hate to say but there was a bit of bullying from upper management. One guy gave a 2 week notice and was escorted out of the office by the end of the week.  The Curran Group need to look into the practices at the Crete office. It takes the HR department months to respond to applicants. This office is a pathetic joke.

The managers at this particular company I have very little to offer, they managed by threats and scare tactics and do little boost morale or productivity. A manager should know that a leader has vision and there is no vision with the managers at this company it's a Workhorse mentality they're very limited on Innovation and creates a very toxic culture and or environment for all it's a Brotherhood with the upper management there and reprimands are rarely given to those in supervisory positions which creates a cancer for the entire company and it needs a serious overhaul immediately

They have been trying to fill a role for payroll for Canada for months. Trouble is the manager in incompetent which leads to the failure of the team as a whole. Instructions on processing are either incomplete or "still being worked on" The environment is ravaged by pettiness an employee of 15 plus years written up for accidentally using all caps in an email. A manager who gets emotional whenever incorrect instruction is given. I swear I was told once to go to a file to access instruction and when I got there it had one sentence "how to do abc" only the title was there. Until managed my better people this place will remain a joke.

Typical work day is meeting after meeting  discussing what was discussed in the previous meeting, not leaving much time to do your actual job. What I learned is; what is discussed with Management and HR is NOT confidential. The workplace culture is too many managers and not enough workers and the goal is to see how much work they can pile on someone before they crack. The hardest part of the job is not being able to take more than 2 days in a row of vacation time because of the "Accounting Month Schedule". The most enjoyable part of the job is the technology brought in by the IT department. 

Worked there for 6 weeks before i found something else. I have never felt compelled to leave a negative review on a company until now. I also never had this aweful of an expirence at a job before now and i spent 10 years in the army so thays saying something! The management would not organize jobs. Also when people quit they wouldnt replace them but kept taking on more work.when assignments werent done on time it was the shops fault when there was way too much work for the amount of laborers. I honestly cant remember meeting a single labor class employee that was happy there.
