We're Invested in Your Success
Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)
An Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) is a company-sponsored retirement benefit that gives employees an ownership stake in the business – at no cost to them.
At HGC, we are proud to be employee-owned. Rather than outside investors holding shares in our company, our people do. Over time, teammates can earn shares simply by being part of the team. When the company grows and performs well, those shares grow in value – meaning our employees share directly in the success they help create.
Learn more about our ESOP and see how you can become an employee owner today!
Profit Sharing Program
At HGC, we believe that every teammate is a stakeholder in our success. Starting on day one, all teammates are enrolled in our quarterly profit-sharing program.
That means more money in YOUR pocket, just for being on the HGC team and helping us be the best!
35 Hour Guarantee
We are committed to providing our team with a steady and reliable paycheck. Every hourly teammate receives a minimum of 35 hours each pay period, regardless of weather or job site conditions.
Paid Time Off
We believe that time away from work is essential for our teammates to be their best. Our compensation package includes policies designed to help you thrive by ensuring you have the flexibility to manage life’s moments.
- Vacation: Enjoy well-earned time to relax, explore, and rejuvenate. We encourage our team to take time to recharge.
- Holiday: Celebrate and reflect throughout the year during nine (9) designated company holidays.
- Bereavement Leave: Take time to grieve and honor the memory of loved ones with compassionate leave during difficult times.
- Parental Leave: Bond with your growing family with dedicated time to welcome a new child into your life.
Comprehensive Insurance
Our robust insurance package is available to all HGC teammates after 90 days of employment.
In addition to coverage options through Cigna for medical, dental, and vision, we offer life insurance coverage, an Employee Assistance Program, and personal health coaching at no additional cost.
401(K)
Our employer-sponsored 401(k) plan helps you better prepare for the future. We proudly match 100% of your contributions dollar-for-dollar for the first 3% and will match at 50% for contributing between 4-5%.
Innovative Technology
Training & Development
We are dedicated to providing our team with the skills they need to be safe and efficient while creating opportunities for each person to be successful.
Our state-of-the-art training facility, the HGC Academy, was built with you in mind. Our curriculum of classroom and simulator training, paired with our hands-on training in the field, means the sky is the limit for your future!
Home Every Night
Your work-life balance is important to us! With a local footprint around Charlotte, NC, we take pride in being able to send each teammate home every night.
“What makes me feel most proud to belong to this team is being able to mentor and prepare new leaders, and for that, I am very grateful."
