Excellent and Inspiring place to work - Avis employé Account Executive Hudson Ferris

I started my professional career at Hudson Ferris and thank them for where I am today. This isn’t a company where you sit around and wait for emails to come in. Everyday at HF was different. From prospect researching, to best practices for grant writing, to how to make an ask, everyday I learned something new. HF gives you the opportunity to own your projects and the firm appreciates hard work and rewards you for it. If you want to learn the ins and outs of non-profit development and grow your fundraising experience, HF is the place for you. The leadership wants you to succeed, but you must be willing to work hard.

Sometimes work exceeds the regular 9-5 hours

Quite honestly there were no pros working at this organization

This was definitely one of the most toxic experiences I’ve had at a company in my entire professional career. They hired me for an entry level position and offered very little training to support individuals in their work. When I would ask questions about how to proceed with work, I was sat down with my direct supervisor as well as another senior employee on DAY TWO of working at this establishment and told I needed to work harder and try more. They recommended I work outside of company hours when I was only making 39,000 a year and was not paid on time per the biweekly schedule. When I brought this up to My supervisor I was told that “this happens”. I was also reprimanded for the smallest things. For example, I wanted to get work done in their laughably small workspace at the time and was told I was rude for listening to music to drown out the sounds of my coworkers cackling.
