HEICO reviews

Work/life balance is not really there. Management had unrealistic expectations on sales goals that are driven by company investment in assets (which was close to nil). When there was an investment that had the prospect of massive margin, there was always a catch (bad part or parts), and buyers were forced to go back and demand a credit which would usually ruin the buying relationship.

Salaries suck and negotiating after accepting a position is fruitless! Using competing job offers after being employed there or even threatening to leave is a hit or miss (mostly miss) strategy. Bonuses are mostly good, sometimes 7-10% of your income but the starting salary is horrible. They will use any excuse to not give you a pay raise. I went more than 4 years once without a pay increase and it wasn’t due to my work ethic or the fact I wasn’t worth it. After presenting my reasons for at least being paid in the range the market said I was worth, I got multiple excuses as to why no raises were given. I won’t repeat them here but I decided that any company that believes you can be paid lower than the bottom end of the market range and easily replaced, is not a company I should stick with so I left. My income went up 40% with my next company and I’ve gotten rave reviews after less than a year of service, the same reviews I got while working with HEICO.
