Hach Company reviews

Hach aims to be "competitive" in salary which means they pay the absolute minimum for the area to keep you around. There are no raises for exemplary employees, your title determines your pay. Salaried employees are expected to work 45 hours MINIMUM/wk (more like 50-60+) and everyone i know that takes vacation brings their work laptop and works during their vacation. Management provides Lip Service to employee concerns, nothing ever changes. Change Management is non-existent here, ideas are thrown out and implemented without any testing causing system outages or employee confusion or worse. Training is unrealistic, managers say they want to train people, and HR says they provide training (but only to managers). But you're expected to work your 60 hours and do your training outside of work. No sacrifice is made to train valuable employees. Budget cuts are the norm, spending freezes happen every other quarter, sales goals are never adjusted during the year (despite things like the China market crashing) so that they don't have to pay out a bonus. Don't expect to be promoted unless they like you. I see new managers that have no managerial or technical knowledge promoted simply because everyone likes them. Career growth and career paths are never discussed.

Weird divisional attitudes. You are either "inside the circle" or firmly outside. A lot of superficiality and fakiness. If you wear the mask well and fit the narrow ideal mold, you'll be elevated and cherished. If not, you'll be devalued and ignored as though invisible.
