HDL Reviews

Where to even begin. HR might be a nice place to start, though much of the problem (too many HR people, all friends of the head of HR) has been dealt with as HR is a sliver of the size it used to be (and could probably even be smaller). HR was a toxic place run by what amounted to a clique of sorority girls. I have never seen more inept people in positions of leadership than I see at HDL. The people who should be running the company have either been terminated by management through layoffs, left on their own terms, or are being bossed around by people who do not understand even the most basic management principles. The two biggest problems at the company are: 1. the egos running it that contribute to an extremely poisonous internal environment 2. the lack of understanding and external relationships (with insurance companies) by management on what they have to do in order to turn the company around.

I worked as a contractor for a year. The salary was great, but (I kid you not) I didn't work much at all. I was paid to surf the internet and read books. No one oversaw me. I tried dozens of times to get my rep to explain I had nothing to do, but he was getting paid whether I worked or not and said nothing. After a year of being paid to do nothing, I terminated my own contract. I was prohibited by contract from saying anything. There were dozens of us who were paid to do nothing. The company is incredibly wasteful. There is little oversight of duties. While you might think doing nothing and getting paid for it is a cushy job, you'd be wrong. I used my time to develop other skills, which I use now in a real job.
