Pros

Good benefits and flexible with taking time off.

Cons

A lot of nepotism and a boys club, including a few favored females. No structured training for your specific job position - it is a “sink or swim” mentality towards the new hires and that is a direct quote from several managers there.

Hawthorne Cat Response

We're sorry that this was your experience. We strive to offer a culture of diversity and inclusion for all of our employees. We offer training in a number of ways, both in person and online. Over the past few years we developed and implemented our Hawthorne Technician Apprenticeship Program (HTAP) and also our Hawthorne Technician Career Path (HTCP). We also have recently launched initiatives around feedback obtained from our Employee Opinion Survey and our Technician Survey and we are already receiving positive feedback from employees that we as a company and our leadership team are moving the needle in the right direction, increasing employee engagement and appreciation, There is always work to be done to get better and we appreciate your feedback that will help us address this. Thank you again for taking the time to provide your feedback.
