11yThis is Jack. It is unfortunate that your career with Hi-Line did not work out. Our ethics and integrity levels at Hi-Line are genuinely high so we are surprised to hear that your individual experience was less than expected. Perhaps it would have behooved both parties if Hi-Line knew what discoveries "did not align with your moral code" before your departure so that clarity and improvement was communicated and implemented. Hi-Line is committed to superior service and high-quality products for all our customers so finding the right Territory Manager for each territory is very important. Each Territory Manager, as you know, is paid on uncapped commissions on the items they sell. So once a Territory Manager leaves and their replacement starts selling, then Hi-Line must start to pay the Territory Manager that sold the products. Also, it would make no sense for Hi-Line to stop collecting money on invoices due because Hi-Line has 160+ employees, vendors and bills to pay as well. It sounds as if there were some erroneous expectations and perhaps those expectations were self-assuming instead of contractual. Hi-Line has a good, long-standing reputation and taking care of our employees is just one of the many reasons that we have been in business since 1959. We are not happy that you had the experience that you did, but as for all of us at Hi-Line, we hope the next step in your career is exactly what you desire.

So their current recruitment opportunity says they want to grow to 150 territories (from 95) within 5-years!

6yThis is Jack. The statements made in the above message are either untrue or completely out of context. Throughout the entire post, the writer is trying to portray Hi-Line in a negative light while making false accusations because of their lack of interpersonal skills and unwillingness to work with others.
Let me first begin by filling in some voids concerning Hi-Line’s 60-year history of constant improvement and overall growth. Yes, our Mobile Store count was up to 95 when the recession hit in 2009. As a strong family business, we weathered that storm better than most. We dipped to a Mobile Store count of 72. Since then, we have strategically grown our Mobile Stores count back to 95+. During these lean times we learned that we must strengthen each Store. Because of our efforts, each Mobile Store has experienced a 35% average growth rate. Also, our company’s overall revenue has grown 50%+ since 2000. These are hardly flat line numbers.
We make no apologies for our Territory Managers being the life blood of our organization. Our TMs love working for a stable, debt-free company that has been successful since 1959. A great work-life balance, uncapped commissions, independence, security, achievement and recognition are just a few more reasons why folks want to come work at Hi-Line. Lastly, we are a Christian-Based Organization and we shout it from the rooftops. Each person’s religious beliefs are up to them, but let me assure you, there is nothing phony about our love and support for Jesus Christ.
Also, the reckless comment on sexual harassment is slanderous. These comments are completely out of line, inaccurate and constructed with the intent to harm Hi-Line.
For those of you interested in learning more about Hi-Line, feel free to ask me about some of the awesome innovations, changes and improvements that have taken place recently. I will personally answer any questions you may have.
