Do not recommend Hamilton

Pros

There is a decent work-life balance. There are some great people who work for this company.

Cons

Working for Hamilton is the epitome of a dead-end job.. This company has a very toxic morale from leadership down to its associates.. This company's leadership you utilizes scare tactics.. Staff are largely ignored except for a annual performance review.. Break-ins to your vehicle are frequent common... The company doesn't have a solid quality structure.. Workplace injuries are pretty often here pretty routine.. This company has a high turnover with Associates.. The company tries to hire pretty young so they don't have to hire or pay for qualified individuals.. Half of its engineering department is full of interns.. The maximum raise for ground Associates with this company is $0.50 which is comparable or less than a fast food operations...

Pros

Good pay. Top technology. Highly vertically integrated. Private. Open communication to top management. In-depth market knowledge at all management levels. Improving. Consistent reinvestment in the company's production capabilities and product line up. Multiple product lines and divisions. High product market penetration and still expanding applications. Good work / life balance respected at that individual level. Nice campus setting. Stylish architecture. Reno is actually a great place to live for the weather, less traffic, outdoor sports, vistas, art, restraurants and entertainment.

Cons

Mid-size company evolving into a large company; the risks associated with that and the change in culture from a small tight-knit longterm-oriented team environment to a more process driven bureaucracy. Close working quarters. Could use a cafeteria. Only real high-tech / major league manufacturing-related HQ employment opportunity in town. Nevada ranks last in education which needs to be compensated for. This could change with the continuing influx of California tech company operations, like the Tesla Gigafactory and Apple.

Pros

Great Swiss designed products and fascinating industry

Cons

The place is run like a medieval village where the king has no cloths and no one says a thing... The is for the Reno Nevada office only, the Swiss office seems to operate more like a normal company. - this site is monitored by HR and operations - current employees are 'asked' to put up new and positive reviews to displace every negative one - current employees would be fired on the spot for being honest on this site, hence most honest current employees reviews 'have' to be anonymous - current employees are forbidden to use Linkedin or other business sites, the owner basically says if your job experience is on Linkedin you are looking for job and are fired, this keeps his employees from networking and finding 'better' jobs - current employees are forbidden from staying friends and socializing with ex-employees even if they ave been friends for decades and even if they where friends before employment there - current employees are all 'time carded' which is the basis for the cost of living pay increase each year, no performance raises 'really' exist there - the US pushes products designed in the Reno office while they might not work as well as the products designed in the Swiss office, the Swiss sell no products designed from the Reno office, so basically the same company ownership but are two competing companies - when positions open, the staff has to 'not tell' perspective employees about the insane culture as they are already overworked and need the help - the owner play favorites and supports an environment of tattletales - the field staff is treated decently since they are run by managers but the Reno staff never knows who is talking to the owner about them - as a right to work State in Nevada, current employees are continually told to do what the management says no matter how insane it is with the last word being: 'if they like working here...'
