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.

Pros

I really enjoyed my time at Hammerton. People there are great to work with and are always willing to help you learn about the company. The management team definitely expects employees to perform at a high level. The CEO shares department productivity numbers at the end of every quarter which drives/cultivates a focused environment where employees are constantly trying to achieve goals and reach deadlines.

Cons

The work can be repetitive. However, since the company is so small there is always room for growth.

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.
