Hill-Rom Employer Reviews

Too much furniture factory mentality. Lacking in Medical Device Manufacturer mentality.
I make a difference

This is a great job if you love to clean hospital equipment in a hospital setting. the people are cool and its a lot of running around.

Hill-rom could have maintained it's stability as a company if their management team was more stable and knowlegable.

horrible place to work, good people but management is awful. the blind leading the blind

I've learned a lot working here when it comes to the position and the company. I work in a hostile work environment where it is more like a bad highschool environment rather than an adult proffesional one.

The job is to deliver hospital beds and equipment to area hospitals in a timely manner. This is a great place to work and also learn how to use maintain and fix these beds..

I learned a lot about robotic welding here. The company took very good care of the people they employ and it was a very safe work enviroment. The hardest part of my job was not knowing when my job was going to end. The most enjoyable part of the job was the people I worked with and as I said the way the company took care of the employees.

manage daily activities per customer request, direct employees in communciation, teach and guide employees in performance and job duties necessary to fulfill customer request. Check emails and complete reports necessary to ensure goals and compliance measures are met and exceeded.
My job managed 24 direct reports who were all assigned job duties based – more... upon their experience and abilities.
The hardest part to the SOM position is completing the many task involved in a timely fashion all while ensuring the needs of customers are met.
The most enjoyable part is the gratitude that patients and customers provide when a job or service has exceeded their expectation. – less

I was an excellent employee for the year I was with Hill-Rom. My department got restructured and I was dropped in favor for employees that had horrible yearly reviews and stats because of my lack of seniority less than a week before I started college through their tuition reimbursement. I do have a nagging feeling that I was cut because I started school – more... and they had agreed to pay. Their benefits are great and their HR dept. is great to work with. – less

- A typical day as a Tech Automation Support Specialist consisted of troubleshooting android handheld devices, updating training documentation, running reports, updating spreadsheets and assisting team mates with troubleshooting.
- I learned a lot about developing and testing new applications for android phones.
- Over the 7 plus years that I worked – more... for Hill-Rom I had 5 different Supervisors and they all had different policies. The management in each department pretty much makes up there own rules.
- Most of my co-workers were a great addition to my network. However there were some that were all about creating drama
- The hardest part of my job was losing it. I put a lot of me into my position and had no idea that I would be one of the ones to be let go.
- I enjoyed creating new processes, leading my department, and being a part of a team. – less

Under good management where employees are held accountable for their actions, this can be a great place to work. Unfortunately, I didn't have that type of experience. My manager was overwhelmed due to the fact that he was doing what used to be 3 different positions. The Houston territory used to be 2 different service centers(5-6 technicians each) with – more... a combined 3 different managers. Now, there is 1 manager with 10-15 technicians. Half of the technicians picked up on the weakness this created and exploited it for personal gain. One quarter merely did their job. The last quarter took the initiative and picked up the slack of the rest to keep everything from falling apart. If you work for the pay you want, it is possible to get there as long as there is a good relationship between the tech, SOM and AVP. Assuming, of course, that you can put up with the environment. Unstable upper management and company direction. – less

They do not implement their mission statement. Constant downsizing and layoffs. Everybody is always fearful of speaking out to management and also fearful about their job security. If you can find ANYTHING else, do not work there.

The benefits are the best that i have seen but the pay sucks. I dont mind working but some of the other guys were afraid of too much work. They would just sit there half the day. You will never advance your career. They will advance you but will not pay you for the position. The raises are small and unnoticeable. 2% of your basepay is the raise. They – more... use to give quarterly bonuses but just once a year now. That 2 bonus used to be 3%. The field servie techs do not get taking care of in this company. Very stressful job to know they can lay you off at any time. That lay off is you actually you getting fired. Upper management always is changing because people keep leaving. They cant keep the good field service techs because they leave too. – less

I would love to stay at Hill-Rom; however, my department is shutting down. I enjoy my work while coordinating with health and insurance agencies. Research while following up, documenting, coordinating, billing along with data entry are essential to the health profession and our customers. Maintaining the right relationship and attitude with people and – more... businesses are pluses. – less

I started out as a welder and then moved into mechanical design at that time my work as a designer was limited to sustain engineering only making design changes as necessary to improve the products being manufactured in the ambulatory care unit which consisted of Medical Stretchers,OB/GYN beds and the procedural chair. Having success with that I was – more... moved into new product development and recived a patent for my work on Hill-Roms Versa Care bed. – less

lots of secrets - no clear communication between management and employee

I have worked with Hill-Rom for the past year as a patient training. Very friendly staff, fast pay and professional.

Blead their cash-cow that has huge upside in order to fund new ventures, but won't reinvest in these good businesses to generate even larger returns.

Great place to work. Great local people, Friendly atmosphere! 3 shifts available.

I love seeing that what I do there does make a difference in people's lives. It's a great blessing to me.
