Pros

There are none...at least not anymore

Cons

Hussmann has slowly ruined this branch since they bought Taylor ind out. I worked as a sheet metal Forman for them for nearly 10 years. When I started, they did every hy-vee grocery store. There was at least 5 2-man crews in the field busy year round and a hand full of guys in the shop. It took nearly 16 years, but they have managed to lose nearly all of the hy-vee work and are down to 3 sheet metal workers...for now. Fortunately for me, I saw the writing on the wall and quit over 2 years ago. I went to their competitor and have never looked back. Also, if you get injured here, expect to have to sue them and get the best lawyer you can find, hussmann will drag it out for years. Finally, id give 0 stars if that were an option.

Pros

A consistent five‑day work week schedule.

Cons

Hussmann may be a recognizable name, but the internal experience is far from positive. Management is consistently reported as disorganized, unresponsive, and disconnected from the day‑to‑day realities employees face. Support from leadership is minimal, and follow‑through on basic issues is often lacking. Advancement is rare, and many employees feel stuck with no clear path forward regardless of performance or effort. These problems contribute to a workplace culture that feels negative, discouraging, and unnecessarily stressful. Stronger leadership, real opportunities for growth, and a genuine commitment to employee well‑being are badly needed. I would never recommend working at Hussmann.
