Hudson Group Employer Reviews

A typical day at work starts at 330 am. You have to open all stores in your terminal with a lack of help usually. Managers are 9 times out of ten opening stores and ringing on the register. Also your shift does not end before 2pm. You are expected to do everything besides management work. You have to stock the stores, order the stores, clean the stores. – more... Everything we did was not management work. Its sad that a business is ran this way. Management is horrible from the Gm all the way up. I wouldn't recommend this job to my worst enemy. – less

The management is absolutely horrible. She doesn't know how to talk to people, she is disrespectful. The pay sucks and there isn't much advancement opportunity.

This company doesn't show any respect to their employees and managements treat them like slave. The only thing you will learn working at Hudson is to see who gossip the most..People come and go so much because Hudson mislead everyone about their workload...Coworkers there are good, but some need to shut their mouth more than others..

You will only – more... get promote if the management like you, otherwise, your hard work will only benefit their yearly bonus. The upper managements are bunch of clueless people who only care about their sale "number" and they think Hudson is some type of 5 stars retail store. I can't think of any enjoyable part of the job because there aren't any..Some of the supervisors there just try to boss around and kiss-rear when upper managements shows up and push the work to the next person coming in.

Hudson loves to cut hours and make people work 6 days a week...
I never work at any places which you do not get full 8hrs...

If you need a 2nd job just to pay your bills, this place is an ideal for it – less

Very unique place to work at the Orlando-Sanford Airport. I had the opportunity to work in an environment that allowed me to service a range of people with different backgrounds, which made the average work day always different from the next.

A regular day goes by smooth when everybody in the 1st shift would do there job. i learned how to work as a team but again not everyone follows rules. as far as managers go, they show there favoritism towards there closet workers. The hard part is doing another persons job that was at work and not doing it. the enjoyable part is your lunch time.

Management was terrible. The airport atmosphere was not ideal for me and I did not enjoy it all. At the time, it paid the bills and put me through school, but sales is not my specialty. My coworkers were good, hard working people and we were all subjected to the poor management. I learned a lot about retail and travel.

Check the book to see what happen on the earlier shift.
Learne the machines went down and to be perpared to ring up the orders manually.
Work with the staff watch the floor and make sure the customers are happy
Very freindly to customers and happy faces
Dealing with angry and upset customers
Working with the staff and customers and running the place

during my time working at husdon I could take more experience in costumer service and attention to the costumer as well as get familiar with airport enviroment.

welcoming and greeting customers, showing the company's products, selling

interacting with the customers taking care all they needs
Getting to know customers fellow employees

typical day at work is coming to work at then going to break an 1hr later, and working 6 more hours and no more breaks

I've been in retail industry for several years as a manager at other companies and since I have been employed with Hudson News I have NEVER seen a company quite like this one. you can't count your deposits what they call a blind drop you can't be more than $2.00 over short on the deposits IF you are you will get a write up the system there is step-up – more... for you to fail. – less

The management at JFK terminal 1 location is one of the most unprofessional teams that I have worked for in my 28 years of retail career. Employees, sales associates and specialty store managers are treated with no respect what so ever by Assistants GMs. The turn over rate at this location for middle management and retail associates is 98.9% because – more... of this. – less

Management never supported the sales team or supervisors. The environment was vile (rodents in snacks/dusty due to lack of supplies/faulty tables and drawers...a customer was nearly injuryed by a raggedy table/sales items are recycle beyond reason). If you ever have an issue, don't report it to a supervisor or because they will not support you. They – more... do not honor the American Disabilities Act. Management allows personal relationships to interfere with decisions. Example: recent general manager only allowed his lover's "friends" to schedule flexiblity and not follow the rules that everyone else were to follow. – less

The Hudson group is a public company which maintained their loyalty to their workers.

While working at hudson group. I came across many challenging days. One day i was short handed on employees, it was like we had a serious rush hour that had came through our store customers had almost empty the soda coolers ,merchandise was almost out of stock, and i had cashiers that needed change, and employees still had to take lunch breaks. Somehow – more... I was able to get everything accomplished by giving change running to the warehouse filling the coolers, than having to run to our other warehouses and pull merchandise. – less

My typical day started: checking the line up for call outs, what shift changes each of us as Supervisors were assigned. After, shift change: Check store for Cleaning, empty shelves, write drink order. Write a todo list for associate. Once, I or Co-worker filled orders drop of to the stores. Began breaks...audit cash register then send associate on break – more... 30 mins. Audit Register out. After, breaks take my break. Write up damages or stock shelves before closing stores.
The years spent at this job was cool. There wasn't a difficult time because I was able to relate on both ends of being a Cashier/ Supervisor. The most enjoyable time was Knowing I had a job! Which was Lot of the those days.... Management was New so there was work in progress. – less

Very interesting job to work at. I met a lot of new people. The job was very easy and interesting. I really enjoyed working there.

A typical day at work is very busy, and helping customers. I have learned to multitask on different projects while helping customers at the same time. I think management could be better. The co-workers are easy to get along with. There is no part of the job that is hard. The most enjoyable part of the job is helping the customers.

This company offer the opportunity to grow but you have to work 70 -80 hrs/wk. They don't accept any suggestions. My employees were hard workers.
