Henley Enterprises Employee Reviews about "long hours"

Success in the company at higher levels can require long hours time commitments

Pros

Been with the company 3 years, current service center manager. Started as a CSA and worked my way up in about 2.5 years (with a break in training because I had a baby). I feel that my bosses genuinely care about me as a person. I had serious health issues after my child was born. Worked with me to accommodate my needs for doctor's visits but wanting to work full time as well as needing a somewhat more consistent schedule as a parent of a small child. For lower level employees overtime is almost always available if you're willing to work at another location with mileage reimbursement paid out. Company is driven to promote from within versus hiring externally for management positions. Never had a hassle about taking a vacation day or even a full week, on the rare occasion I had to leave early due to my child being sick it wasn't an issue. Pay is good, even with most expensive healthcare plan, 401k contribution and max taxes taken out of my check. Lots of employee resources such as an assistance hotline, excellent benefits at a decent price. Really enjoy the training structure, lots of paid classes on management, customer service, leadership, etc. An excellent foundation for marketable job skills. I plan to stay with the company as long as possible. I genuinely like my job. Owner of of the company as well as other high level people are genuinely kind, friendly and invested in success of their people.

Cons

Store managers are required to work 50 hours a week, so long hours (but the pay makes up for that in my opinion). Hot in summer and cold in the winter but that's a garage environment for you. Not intolerable. Maintenance on service centers is slow to be done unless it's an equipment issue that would cause a loss of business.

Pros

You accelerate through the company very fast if you put yourself to learning the checklists. The salary was appropriate. The work is very easy and they train you on site.

Cons

They are a cliquey company. All upper management are good friends so if you have a problem it's very difficult to get it solved. The men don't know how to treat the women who work there. They give you long hours with very few chances to step away for refreshments. The bay's are VERY hot. If you are not in with the clique at the shop, you will be treated poorly and be given the tasks that everyone else don't want to do.

Pros

They will hire anyone (which can also be a con) No experience required. They will train you. If you like cars, it's fun.

Cons

Upper management plays favorites. They risk their employees safety by having them drive to the shop to shovel during snow storms. They are hypocritical when it comes to policies and definitely do not lead by example. You are expected to be come in on your days off (if they are short staffed which is almost always) and if you don't, they hold it against you. They keep jacking the prices to ridiculous heights and their reasoning isn't good enough. You won't feel comfortable trying to convince a customer that it's worth the price. When the heat doesn't work, you'll still be working even if it's 10 degrees inside the building. Health insurance is pretty expensive through them as well. Pay is not enough for the work being done. Long hours (10-12 hour shifts at times). No set schedule. Less ands less holidays off. You get vacation time but often are given a hard time when you use it
