R.S. Hughes Co., Inc.

Is this your company?

I worked there in the mid-80's and got some laughs from all the negative reviews because they still haven't changed. - Inside/Outside Representative R.S. Hughes Co., Inc. Employee Review

Pros

If you are fresh out of college with no solid prospects, "cut your teeth" there to learn all the things reviewers said. Work there 1-2 years and take a better job as soon as you can. The experience of working with vendor reps is good experience for your future. Many companies out there know about them and will hire you knowing why you didn't last long.

Cons

When I was there in Sunnyvale CA office around '86 to '89, they didn't even have computers! Every other distributor like them did. Paper inventory books for entering purchases and sales was a joke. It led to so many mistakes that they would have been to buy an entire network for their staff on the realized savings. They seem to "churn" fresh out of college males, work them till they're pissed, then get another when they leave. They don't have to layoff.

Pros

Majority of leadership and employees care deeply about each other and doing the right thing by customers.

Cons

Many people have been with the company 20-30years - while great, gaining their buy-in for needed change is difficult and slow.

Pros

Easy first job, since they eliminated college degree requirement for entry level jobs.

Cons

Horrible structure and communication from upper management to team. Job description do not match actual work. Promise of advancement only for you to do more work for same pay. Bonus pay were eliminated for lower staff but management still gets it, and HR has way too much power.
