Pros

Most of the people are nice to work with, and they had regular social events.

Cons

Poor pay, lied about growth and raises, working conditions were sub par (required to wear dress clothes in filthy warehouse), upper management is a cesspool of nepotism, Zero respect for the IT department by the company at large, severely understaffed for the amount of support, old outdated and antiquated software/hardware, and more.

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry you had an unfavorable experience at Hercules. We also realize that our culture and the pace in our IT department may not be the right fit for every employee. Hercules was founded in 1962 and has since grown to be the 20th largest wholesaler in the US. Effective October 1, 2019, Hercules is an employee-owned company through an Employer Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). This new ownership structure will ensure the company’s independence and will allow Hercules to continue to grow and serve our customers, while maintaining our core philosophy of taking care of our employees. Hercules values our employee-owners, in particular the IT team. Through internal peer evaluations, the IT team consistently ranks among the top scores for all employee peer evaluations. We wish you the best with your next career opportunity.
