Hutson, Inc

A typical day, for example, would consist of several salesman calling with issues with either the sales process or the several applications they were required to login to due to make a sale. I supported the salesman and many other departments in the process of making a Large Ag Equipment Sale for John Deere. I worked on several different projects consistantly and developed many procedures as well as processes to make things work more smoothly for all employees. I developled 3 major systems for the company and also supported all IT issues related. I authorized all charges and billing in regards to those systems. When I first started working for this company I controlled all inventory for the entire company. This includes reconciling all exceptions and issues and handling all salesman with paperwork not finished. I scheduled all training for each new salesman and any employee that needed the 3 system I was administrating.

It's turned into a revolving door since Hutson bought them out.  No job security.  Seems like there is always a new manager that wants to change things so it's "their way".  There is no advancement in the company unless your in management.  High fives and buzz words are more important than experience and actually knowing what your doing.  You are a number and thats all they care about.   Management makes poor decisions without discussing it with the employees it directly affects.  Management typically has little experience in agriculture.  It's very political and they do work on the buddy system.  They make alot of promises they don't keep.  They will tell you what they have to so will do what they want then not deliver.  Bottom line, If your looking for a real career with a company  that respects your experience and values your opinion, look elsewhere.

Hutson, Inc. is a decent place to work for. However, the management lowered the morale of the workplace.  When I first started everyone was happy and loved to work with each other. By the end, we were only out for ourselves to survive.  The hardest part of the job was to handle disgruntled customers who thought their bills were to high or didn't approve of the service they were provided.  It was hard to take pride in your job knowing that prices were too high and the best job wasn't always done on the jobs. I didn't like having to lie to the customers.

Ok place to get your foot in the door to start your career more if your a technician.   Pay is very low for experience and duties performed with little room for advancement.   Lots of drama between stores, very cliquey.   The management is not the greatest.   Its more about corporate and the $$ the uppers make. dont care about the little employees in the stores.  Takes forever for them to respond when needing something.   Uppers spend $ on stupid stuff but wont give employees raises only yearly and very little.  Only good thing i liked were the customers coming into the store!  

At Williamsburg MI As advertised for delivery driver, it is excatly as help wanted ad is wrote. You will absolutely be EVERYONES helper. On top of managers lack of experience of managing, the sales passes their job off onto you. You will NOT have control over scheduling NONE. And because sales is self importance YOU will spend 30mins to a hour educating customers on they're equipment, which as much as sales make that absolutely should be they're job. This is not a good company, they place value on every one except they're drivers. And you definitely do 3 jobs and paid for one

What is the best part of working at the company?
Going home for the day. The stupidity runs rampant.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Having to do your job and take classes at the same time and the expectation to keep up with your work due to being under staffed.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Some of the guys are great management generally sucks.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Hectic at during the busy seasons.

It is remarkable how useless the middle management in this company is they say one thing and are told by upper management to get it done and they do nothing. If you are related to the middle management then they will bend over backwards for you to keep you employed even when you do not deserve it...if you are and regular employee you are chopped liver and mean nothing to then and constantly get lied to. 

Hutson purchased our local dealership and promised to keep everyone on staff and at their current rate of pay.  This did not happen.  They terminated employment for all of the long term  higher paid employees and replaced them with new faces that they could pay considerably less.  The customers became “numbers” and the personal experience that the customers had at the dealership was gone.  Very corporate, not friendly, and full of themselves. Not a good place to work.  

Not an enjoyable place to work anymore. The more time goes on with Hutson management in charge the more stuff gets shoved down the employs throats. The people making the decisions affecting  the employees doing the actual work don’t consult with those employees. They collect their money and after a few short years move on and no longer work there or move roles. Your stuck with their poor decisions  while they moved on!

Busy, busy, busy.  Never a dull moment on a daily basis.  Management takes pride in the training they provide.  They have an open door policy.  Everyone employee seems to give 100% + on the job.  I learned many new things regarding accounting in my time there.  The hardest part was time management as there was always so much to get done in a day.  The best part was being able to work independently.
