Simon Hegele Healthcare Solutions

Management is looking for yes men.
Be prepared to spend all your time running your own installations.  From booking hotels to contacting coworkers to coordinating deliveries of forklifts.  They want you to take care of everything from Booking travel to onsite paperwork to coordinating deliveries of equipment.  If you live in the Midwest you stay busy but the Chicago and Texas region installers are always sitting at home begging for work! Keep in mind it's a hourly position . If you don't work you don't get paid. If you're not a Teamlead (onsite boss) you have no say so in anything,  no company credit card , and you are out of pocket for all your expenses.  The pay scale is very poor comparatively speaking. 20 dollars a hour to stay on the road for weeks in the worst cities. Management has a major disconnect with eachother and seem to be in an ongoing power trip. NO ROOM FOR ADVANCEMENT!  You will always be an installer.  You will be asked to do jobs you are not certified to do . If you are down on your luck you will make a perfect fit. They make their installers rig the equipment in the facilities off of the semi trucks which eventually will wear you down physically. You will be forced to work with irresponsible coworkers that continue to cause issues and cost you money. The apps and phones they use constantly cause delays on your paperwork which cost you bonus money. Incentives are low and expectations are high. 

As an installer, you are notified on Friday of your upcoming week's work.  You fly or rent a car to get to the job site location, check into a hotel, and Monday morning start the job.  The jobs typically take 4 days to complete, then you are sent home or you might go directly to the next job.

As a road warrior, I loved it.  I learned about medical equipment and how to rig in and install 16,000 pound MRI machines, which was pretty cool.

The management at Hegele is excellent and very professional.  They maintain a very clean warehouse near the Chicago airport and they take safety very seriously.

Some of my co-workers however were not so professional.  Not all of them, but enough that I decided to seek employment elsewhere where I could work more independently.

What is the best part of working at the company?
You have the opportunity to work with like minded people who care about contributing to positive patient outcomes but installing high end imaging equipment across the nation and beyond our boarders.  If making a difference is apart of who you are this is the place for you.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The travel can be challenging at times.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Focused and attention to detail a must. A constant teaching environment that rewards hard work.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
7:30 on the jobsite which could range from a world class hospital to a small clinic in a small town.  Installing an MRI to a small X-ray unit.

I have never worked for a company that genuinely cares about its employees; honestly, this is by far the best company I have ever worked for. They do not advertise or say what great company culture they have because they integrate it into the fabric of the company & what we do. It is shown every day by the way the employees work together and interact. 

I always feel comfortable asking questions, and I know I can go to my Supervisor/Director if I ever need any additional support. I learn something new every day in my role, and I could not be happier working at Simon Hegele.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The people are the best thing
It's a good company to work for you have lots of freedom to do your job without a boss hanging over you and they are very flexible about start times depending on your position

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
I have no stress at all working for hegele

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It's really good it's diverse and everybody gets along , they do lots of little parties after work they buy lunch often  it's a laid back atmosphere

They spend their time on this secondary warehouse business they have going on that doesn't make money.  Doesn't know the industry or ironically logistics in general well enough to staff.  

As an equipment installer its a good start for a career.  However lots of fire fighting and again finance and HR run the company so the employees often get frustrated.  High turnover.  Scheduling is a mess.  The employees will tell you all about it day one out in the field. Pay is ok.

Fantastic management. Office works very hard to ensure MIVs receive equipment necessary to install medical equipment. Great benefits.
Travel is 100%, no guaranteed weekends or time home. Time off requests are almost always approved, but may conflict with workweek so you might not work. Schedule is unpredictable and highly demanding.
Few installers take pride in their work, most have poor attitudes.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Great work culture, responsive management and E-suite. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Installers work is 100% travel.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work is constant, the culture is that of a big family. Lots of support if needed.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Travel, installation work, reporting.

... UNFORTUNATELY , just as I was hired, COVID-19 hit, and work slowed to a stand still. With no work meant no on-the-job Training and no pay. They couldn't afford to keep me, and I was laid off. 
  
   I was really looking forward to working there. When we had work, it was great: I was learning new things, and getting paid well, and everyone I worked with was Great.

I worked with many lead installers while employed there and only one of them was professional and mature.  The others all had major ego problems, behaved like teenagers, were unorganized with the shared tools, and had no customer service skills whatsoever.
It was not an environment I looked forward to going to each day, so I left.
