- The company supports the organizations that its employees support, sponsoring events, tables or teams for local charity fundraisers according to employee requests. Tickets purchased for events are shared with employees so they can participate.
Employees say:
- “Our insurance and benefits are wonderful, but they go above and beyond. They pay for our parking, we have break rooms stocked with healthy snacks and drinks, we are provided with monthly themed socials with food and prizes, they allow team-building activities, we have a wonderful program called HERO that allows us to do community outreach, (and) an amazing Christmas party where they recognize employee achievements.”
- “The HMC team is made up of incredible people who are equally talented as they are moral and kind. Co-workers are more like friends and family! COVID has made how terrific HMC is to their team members even more evident. They have protected us from the beginning and working from home is without pressure to return to the office.”
- “It is a hardworking, hard-driving place that is focused on growth and providing great investment returns. That noted, it is a collegial and respectful place where employees and people are valued.”
