Hilb acquired my previous employer in January 2023. We were pumped full of promises and corporate jargon, but what we ultimately received was an unbelievably frustrating and obfuscated transition of power. Butter wouldn't melt in leadership's mouth. Hilb management told us our responsibilities would remain the same as they were at our old company, but promptly shifted my team's scope and loaded us up with more work than we could handle. When pressed on the issue, leadership would smile and nod and make convincing, but empty promises to us that these issues were just temporary. Unsurprisingly, the issues persisted, which is why my employment did not — I began looking at job listings within two months of the acquisition. On top of that whole mess, the acquisition triggered a shameful arms race of leaders at my old company trying to claw their way into cushy corporate positions at Hilb. It was shameful, really: throwing each other (and us!) under the bus when it benefited them, creating and dissolving strategic alliances, and straight up lying to their subordinates. Reminder, this is a review about an *office job,* not a military coup. They saw dollar signs, I saw the door. Looking forward to this review getting buried under a bunch of fake five star “Cool first job!” and “Great work culture!” reviews. That being said, as with anything that you read on the internet you should take my opinion with a grain of salt and come to your own conclusions. Don’t say I didn’t warn you, though.
