Pros

They have some nice people and family like atmosphere. Good benefits.

Cons

They don't promote women and lie and tell you if you work hard someday you'll get a promotion and then when it comes time for a promotion they hire some new 20 something male that the women have to train. Lots of drama and constant gossiping about who wears what and judgmental groups and management seems to feed it. Low wages for work and they are not good about evaluating salaries.

Pros

You have an income and some Medical/Dental benefits.

Cons

The HLS website states "Hampton believes that our employees are our most important resource." This is just lip service. The HR Dept. is a revolving door of unresolved employee issues. There is zero oversight to confirm issues are properly addressed. This indicates a Management Glue Club has formed as evidenced by poor cooperation and increased employee turnover. The HLS website states "The company is committed to the use and development of all its resources - to be the best in the industry." Dysfunctional and immature Managers that feed off gossip and brown nosing promote subpar performers. Promotions have no real connection to who is actually hard working, efficient and getting things done daily.Executive Management admitted they have promoted people that do not know how to supervise and relate to others and this is a learning process from growing pains. However, this too, continues - hence the lip service. Salary increases don't match or keep up with inflation or the cost of living. You will not be treated as an individual on your own performance and merit. Reviews are done but there is no correlation between exceptional performance and reward monetarily or in genuine appreciation. The market conditions and what other companies give are the exhausted responses from HLS.Yet Hampton wants to be the best in the industry, but does not retain the best possible employees.You give 100 percent and receive nothing OR next to nothing in return. There are different levels of accountability and expectations as evidenced by uneven workload distributions. This is a due to Management double standards and favoritism. Poor performers are embraced, babysat, and shown sympathy even though they crumble under pressure and eternally cost the company money. If you ever question anything you are labeled as a problem. If your core values won't allow you to lower your standards and settle for less than you deserve on many levels this is not the workplace for you.

Pros

Good co-workers for the most part. Within the department anyway... a little catty at times.

Cons

Traders on the other hand are misogynistic and condescending. If they really want to hire younger people into this company they are going to have to change. Not only do they treat women like crap but they will not promote you unless you are a young male. This is the 21st century, get with it. I once heard a senior trader say, 'If my job was any easier, a woman could do it.' he was slightly reprimanded for it, only because someone complained. Now he just says, 'if my job was any easier, my grandson (who is 2 yrs old) could do it'.
