      Corporate culture needs massive transformation, but there are initiatives to change that

      Pros

      Its a decent start IF you plan on building a career in the heavy equipment industry, standard practices are there. They preach a Values Based Leadership and attempt to develop employees for what its worth... HDSI (Holt Development Services) was my favorite part of the organization... PTO and health/dental/vision options were nice too.

      Cons

      Where do I Begin?! Apart from Finance, HR, Service, and Operations... just about all department heads/execs are bonafide phonies that rubbed off the owners, they neither have the experience, drive, nor the acumen to lead and manage a company. Their petty attempts to mimic standards of real org is beyond ridiculous.... next, company politics and negativity! there needs to be a way to monitor corporate behavior and keep negativity in check. Few employees who have been working there for years may accept that as normal but don't realize how toxic and damaging that really is to a company, smart people would not work here... I have had the CFO and the Controller both ask me why I would come back here after the interview... at least they were transparent... 401k is a joke, dont pay attention to the 3% match unless you HAVE to work there forever, 0% is vested till 6 years in.

      Hi. Thank you for the feedback. It is always disappointing when an employee has a negative experience, and I am so sorry that it appears you had a bit of mixed bag. I wish you the best of luck finding an organization that best fits you, and encourage you to bring your best self to help those organizations who invite you in.

      Pros

      Very giving owner...generous with the benefits. Company very supportive of many causes. Great people to work with. Offer many classes that are taught on site to by Holt Developmental Services.

      Cons

      Management runs the company into the ground with over spending, therefore many have been laid off. Men tend to be threatened by Women who work there if they know a little more than they do. Filthy language from certain managers and supervisors and if you report it to HR you might as well plain on not being there much longer.

      Game of Thrones Political Environment

      Pros

      Autonomy, flexibility, work-life balance (in some departments) and great owners.

      Cons

      Not a good place for women to advance and still has many sexist comments being made to women from very high levels of leadership. In addition, this is the most politically charged environment I have ever worked--all of the SR VPS are trying to win the owners' approval and it causes a very toxic working environment. They do not pay market value and managers are not empowered. Leadership gets angry if you try to move ahead in the company. Titles don't mean anything here and incompetence is rewarded. In addition the "Values Based Leadership" is a joke--leadership only uses the values when they are convenient. Some departments do not agree with work-life balance.

      I am very sorry that this is your take-away from the time you spent here at HOLT. Having written so recently, I am sincerely disappointed that you may have also left recently without taking advantage of the many ways to escalate concerns in the Company. I can share that we take issues like you have described very seriously. We wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors and encourage you to let someone know when you are struggling to this level.
