Pros

You learn your hardwork and sacrifices kept the company afloat but are worth nothing to the CEO. You learn how not to treat your employees. You realize greedy CEOs are only looking out for no. 1.

Cons

Over worked and under paid is the Hammerton way. CEO and general managers get rich off the back breaking work of the lower, working class. You won't be paid what you are worth if the CEO didn't make that much money when he was your age. Relocation compensation is a joke, it's only used to lure you to move there then your annual take home is cut. Oh and lastly the health "benefits" are sky high and the 401k match is a joke at 3%. Thanks Bill you are so generous. When the economy tanks because the impoverished lower class rises up, the revolution will start at Hammerton.

Pros

There are a lot of good people that are great to work alongside, the product line is varied so work isn't terribly repetitive

Cons

Managers tend to know little to nothing about the departments they manage and they make poor decisions because of this. Managers selectively hold workers accountable for the quality of their work, and regularly manipulate the metrics they track to create the impression their departments are performing better than they are.

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.
