Pros

Consistent hours, opportunities to learn new skills (if convenient for the company), a handful of decent coworkers, and regular (albeit small) bonuses.

Cons

Nepotism runs rampant, typical work day runs from 7am-5pm (so around 10 hour shifts) but holidays/pto are paid out in 8 hour increments so you don't get paid for a full day of work unless the business is open. Very reactive environment - issues brought to management by employees are not dealt with until absolutely necessary, and even then the reactions leave a lot to be desired. Professionalism is expected when customers are within earshot, but management/sales have no problem making jokes behind their back. Sales team can do no wrong and since the HR department is married into the family, their interests lie with the company and not the employees. Best advice for harassment complaint was to "be the bigger person." Tempers run pretty hot at HLC and a lot of their "good deeds" are performative at best.

old school US management style - not in a good way

Pros

Strong work ethic in most long term employees and management

Cons

Not looking to share the wealth, always pleading poverty (while buying other companies), and not that interested in taking care of employees. In Brunswick, BC& E was well respected and had dedicated long-term employees. Hammond bought them and most of the best people left immediately due to their short-sighted profit-prioritized management style. After a few years, most of the rest have left. Hammond cashed in on their established goodwill and community relations. Hammond does very little to share the wealth, take care of their employees, and therefore, their employees are not very interested in taking care of their customers.
