A Nice Place to Work… for white women

Pros

Good benefits package, health insurance paid for by company. Coworkers are all great. The job is fairly flexible on hours.

Cons

It starts out well but most employees consistently hate working here after 1 year. There are 3 managers - one in each office - that are manipulative, pathological liars and get away with a lot that the CEO does not see. One of them is a little racist but you might not know anymore because the few BIPOC hired have left the company. The company will tell you that they care about your mental health one day and then you’ll hear about your manager gossiping with your coworker about your mental health struggles the next. You can tell your manager you’re working way more hours than is healthy and have a breakdown in the office, and they tell you that YOU need to work on your work-life balance but offer no solutions as to how to get the workload done. We were told to hang in there or suck it up after telling them how badly we needed to hire multiple people or outsource more technical work that we aren’t capable of doing. Multiple people have been fired this year for personal reasons or issues with management and been told it was their performance. Management openly discussed this with other team members after these people were fired.

Thank you for this feedback. I’m sorry you didn’t have a great experience during your time at Hightower. We continuously look for ways to improve our team members' satisfaction but with that comes recognizing that we have room to grow. We have opened new positions to help manage the workload for team members, we are investing in our internal tools & technology and bringing in consultants to help move projects along faster. The conscious leadership training we introduced in 2020 and our recent DEI initiatives will continue as we work hard to make Hightower the best possible work environment for our teams. Thank you again for the feedback and we wish you the best in your career.

Needs more diversity in management and they are working on it, aside from that there is no other cons for me when it comes to the company.
