Hi-Vac Reviews

Where to start. The Forman in the shop and the foreman production are awful. I avoid them at all costs, in a position of power but rude, short and immature. The health insurance is a complete joke. The resources used to assemble and fabricate (ie. blueprints, weldmemets and engineers) are unclear, not helpful and worst of all, outdated. The compensation is awful for the job description. Welders 18-25 an hour (most on the low end), assembly 14-18 an hour. When this company has excess sales and a CEO who brings in enough money to feed a country, compensation should be better. I’d work for less money if the environment to work was at least kind and healthy. Expectations are not clear until you make a mistake. They do not give you the material you need to complete the work you are required to do. You end up spending a lot out of pocket to complete necessary tasks. Management gate keeps things like PPE, grinding disks, and other support items for building parts. Purchasing may as well be non-existent. They say you get a 50 dollar “tool allowance” that has yet to be seen. It wouldn’t cover what you need anyway.

Hi-Vac has went through major transitions in recent years from management to systems changes. These changes have made the culture of the company transition as well,. Change is always difficult however it has proven to be a positive thing. Looking forward to a new year and great things to come.
