Pros

I enjoyed most of the people I worked with but the CEO.

Cons

Bill Shott was the most unprofessional CEO I have ever worked for. Most days he is yelling and cursing at everyone and that happens even when we're exceeding our goals. He continually changes the commission structure so you get paid less when you're exceeding your goals. I would never recommend working for this company, such a depressing, sad work environment and wasted time!!

Thank you for sharing! As you may or may not be aware, our Human Resources department has really come to light starting at the beginning of 2020 with a new HR Manager and HR Generalist. As we have been building a strong structured department where the sole purpose is to help build and enrich our culture, it has provided us the opportunity to really examine where Hammerton can improve. In 2020 and throughout this year, our focus has been on the main processes and procedures that were indeed missing in the employee lifecycle. For example, we switched to a streamlined and more efficient HRIS system, restructured and improved our health care benefits, developed a robust on-boarding and off-boarding process, examined our compensation philosophy, created more in-depth career paths for all of our employees, started a leadership training program, and focused heavily on the health and safety of our employees -- especially as the unforeseen pandemic hit. In reference to the COVID-19 pandemic, we communicated continuously through regular stand-up meetings and emails, we set up hand sanitizer stations and took daily temperature readings, displayed COVID safety signage throughout our facility, and created a large ‘COVID News’ bulletin board that was constantly updated. We also mandated masks for everyone who came on to our property. We still communicate updates as necessary. Although we have made some great strides to building an even better company, we recognize that we can always keep improving. This is where you can help! Below is a link that has been recently sent out to all of our previous employees. If you are willing, we would love to hear more from you! We appreciate all the feedback we can get as to help us evaluate if we are on the right track in our improvements. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/CPKD9YW Sincerely, Stephanie Clausen HR Manager

Pros

Some of the people are fun to work with.

Cons

They pile more and more expectations onto a single role. Everyone is burnt out, unable to meet their expectations all while having more added to their day - day. Everything requires a workaround. CRM does not function properly, emails get lost. They have no clear policies. Policies they have in place get thrown out on a day to day basis. This creates a grey areas on how to conduct on a day to day basis all while combating more and more expectations. They ask employees to handle work that require professional licenses without holding that license ( electrical). Poor benefit packages, no employee incentives. Bonus structure is based off profitability while management does not share reports of on target /off target. Very poor PTO allowance. Lack of standardization or processes. Wicked weird urgency culture that prevents the ability to really address underlining issues.
