Pros

90 employees strong and growing pains, investing more money each year in new equipment is what we need to continue to grow. Our products are beautiful and innovative. I love working at Hammerton and having pride knowing that all we make is made in America by the finest fabricators on the planet. Seeing steel, molten glass, and beautiful paint work come together is very rewarding.The working environment is swift and changes made quickly. It's challenging, I like it,I deal with it, it's my job.

Cons

Need to change back to monthly WOW card awards instead of quarterly

Pros

Coworkers are amazing, staff has each others backs, you get to meet a lot of amazing people.

Cons

Management, management, management. This company promotes favortism. I switched jobs frequently and was shuffled between departments- I worked there for 3 years with my last job title being Quality Assurance. The company did little for their employees. I worked overtime often and never felt appreciated or thanked for work completed. I believe I was treated better then other employees simply because I was female and thats not saying much. I finally had enough in 2016 and left. Benefits were terrible and not affordable. I also never received a bonus. I had to delete and repost my review as their HR dept. stated I could be held "libel" if my information was not correct. So although I worked there for 3 years (2012-early 2016) I was not in QA the entire time. On my original review HR responded and appeared very defensive and while I appreciate that they provided me with an email address to reach out to them Glassdoor is supposed to be an anon forum and verbalizing my complaints to an unknown individual doesnt seem productive at this point and does make up for the treatment I received while working there for 3 years.

Always a new challenge at Hammerton

Pros

Hammerton is a unique company that splits its time between completely custom orders and off-the-shelf stocked items. I worked in the engineering department, and each day was a new challenge. I did mechanical design from small wall sconces up to twenty-foot chandeliers, all built from scratch in the shop out back. Hammerton does a pretty good job keeping up with design and technology trends. If you're just starting out and looking for an engineering challenge, this is a good place to cut your teeth.

Cons

You'll have to be proactive about raises, and the engineering department is often required to put in a few (sometimes more) extra hours a week just to keep up.
