Pros

You gain a lot of experience due to all of the operations that they have here.

Cons

Some of the management staff are very difficult to work with. In order to get things done you need to twist some arms.

Pros

Jobs at Hussmann are about as recession-proof as they get. Supermarkets do well in poor economic times, because people don’t eat out as much. In good economic times, higher-end supermarkets such as Whole Foods expand. Pros Assembly Floor: LOTS of money to be made with overtime. EZ advancement for those that wish to push hard. You can go from assemblyman, to line lead, to manager in a short time. There are hard-working people here that will rub off on you and help you through the long hours. Pros Office: Great corporate benefits such as 3 weeks vacation to start, most office jobs don’t offer this until 5 years of service.

Cons

Cons Assembly Floor: Incredible pressure. At lot, a lot, of hours and unpredictable overtime, sometimes weekends. 16-hour days sometimes happen. Shortly after, you are forced into a furlough day with no pay. Sometimes you work until 11pm then have to be at work at 6am the next day. I am surprised no one has fallen asleep at the wheel on their way home. Engineering is not as strong as they should be, and this creates a lot of crisis-oriented work. It is very hot in the factory 3 months of the year. Cons Office: This place is run like an insane asylum. Once upon a time, an office person was awarded “Employee of the Month” for extra hours put into a certain order, and two months later they were fired because of all the mistakes they made. Management gives the absolute minimum amount of time to get work done, then they blame you if it’s not perfect. For your yearly goals, they assign you certain metrics, but you have to work on other things. Then at the end of the year you get a bad review and a poor raise. At this place, expect not much more of a raise than inflation.
