Pros

The promotion path is there for those who are willing to reach. Flexible hours provided you make up the required time before/after hours or on the weekend. Full benefits, 401K and optional vision/dental at an additional cost. Management is always there to listen and provide guidance, or pass concerns up the ladder. Hylant paychecks always clear and never bounce.

Cons

The company values a high return on individual investment (read: lower pay) and can have a problem paying or be very slow to pay expenses for travel and other expenses. Hylant managers may agree to pay before you do your part, but the managers have no power, and as such you may get the runaround for upwards of a year before they pay (typical response: "I've sent it in did they not approve it yet? I'll check on that for you." They send it up the chain only to be denied for various reasons, or they'll ask for the receipts multiple times after being provided over, and over again. Classic "we don't want to pay what we said we would pay" runaround). Hylant sometimes decides to flat out not pay reimbursement and bonuses for previously agreed to training and the resultant certifications, leaving the employee to deal with the financial ramification. I've spoken to three employees that have been promised bonuses and never delivered. There are more managers than workers - Hylant awards small promotions with big titles to retain talent. This leads to a typical small business environment complete with managers that think they're running Apple but fail to realize that the workers are walmart salary and overworked.

Best to work here if your last name is "Hylant".

Pros

Local office employees (non-Toledo) work hard. Some decent folks in some of the offices. Work/life balance seems reasonable.

Cons

Poor bonus program, low morale. Too much time and money spent on things that don't benefit the" worker bees". The preferred employee is either a member of the Hylant family or a white frat-boy type. Company direction/leadership is missing or confusing at times.

Pros

Family oriented atmosphere with local ties internally that will help when selling this big firm. Many resources to sell from - Construction, Medical, Habitational.

Cons

Don't pay accordingly to experience or knowledge. After I left the incoming producer, with far less experience, commanded (and got) a $100,000 base salary. Not certain how management expects people to stick around when pay is so scattered across the board. We talk about that stuff, even though you'd like us not to....
