Pros

This is a stable company that does not lay people off.

Cons

Hach Ames is not a good place to work. Management does not appreciate anything you do and there is no work/life balance. The goal is to see exactly how bad they can treat you and get you to stay. I'm starting to believe it's a contest. It's a common theme among the management staff to expect 12 hour days out of their staff who are salaried. Most managers aren't referred to by name but instead by nasty acronyms. I would not recommend this company to anyone. Enter at your own risk.

Pros

Great name in the industry. Products are manufactured and perform very well. A lot of internal support. There are a lot of great people who work there.

Cons

Upper management has lost sight of the customer. The sales organization is being micromanaged to metrics, not the voice of the customer. In 2015, sales quotas changed 3 times and were not finalized until the end of August. Your District Manager is key to your enjoyment, and most are simply managing to a CRM tool and do not offer much insight or coaching. At the end of the year, the commission plan was not honored and was changed at the end of January 2016, causing some sales reps to lose $10-$20k in agreed upon bonus'. The company used to have a high retention rate, however, if you want to earn what was agreed upon, look elsewhere.

1. Older associates are not valued and are being replaced at an alarming pace with recent college grads via the general development programs (GDPM) 2. Managers are promoted into areas where hey have little expertise (i.e., software) 3. Layoffs are becoming a common mechanism to silence creative associates 4. Little room for creativity 5. Advancement opportunities only exist for associates straight out of school that were brought into the development programs 6. Continuous turnover at the president level
