Pros

I am lucky to work for the Hamilton Company. I admire that management always puts the customer needs as its first priority, which makes my job easier and makes Hamilton an industry leader. Hamilton is a global company but is still a private, family owned one. CEO Mr. Hamilton is a visionary leader and he cares very much about his employees as well as the local business community. For example, Hamilton Co. is still manually making its syringes with prices staying the same as 10 years ago because Mr. Hamilton wants to provide job opportunities to local people instead of outsourcing overseas. This works because Mr. Hamilton pushes engineering innovations and maximum production efficiency to avoid product price increases. Mr. Hamilton also cares about employee’s work/life balance. My personal experience is a great example. I am required to travel for business but Mr. Hamilton has expressed his concern that if I travel too much, it may adversely affect my kid’s activities in school and sports. I have been advised to let HR know anytime I need to adjust my schedule to accommodate family needs. Plus, Hamilton has good healthcare insurance. Overall, Hamilton has a low employee turnover rate and is a company worth working at for the long term.

Pros

They seem solid enough. Depending where you are, they dont mind if you come in a little early or leave a little late. Reasonably flexible in terms of you needing a day off or if you want to be a member of a society and wish to have off a couple hours that week to attend your events or whatever have you.

Cons

Pardon me, im going to rush this a little, just the grammar. The content is from the heart: really there is a narcissism in the workplace brought on by the lack of upper devisin roles available. This causes a lot of bullying and over compensatory passive aggressivness and rudeness also territorial behavior on the production floor which leads to horribly uncomfortable situations especially if you already have an engineering degree and are just taking the job to get some "experience". Youre seen instantly as a threat by many highly competitious technicians. If youre hoping to keep it chill this is not the place, you might aswell prepare for a rough ride because as much as the director likes to tell you hes going to maybe move you up it's very unlikely that he will unless you can prove that youre a circus acrobat, that is if you first cater to the whims of your production leads first. I saw only one man get moved up from the assembly line, he gained years of experience at other places and knows so many things, he truly deserved it, but sadly he was so old that his usefulness has dimmed. Recently he told me that the director has threatened him with his iob. Its sad. Im not sure if its just Hamilton Co. Or a regional issue, but guys, i really dont want to have to gain so much experience that i become 59 years old before im finally recognized. My advice, as an engineering graduate, please don't accept an assembly or a technician job in Nevada, get out of here! Its truly a dead end! Last thing, on the production floor, they dont really support you, especially not in R&D. If you have a lot of questions and suggestions they are open to them but after a while they just think youre annoying, and they dont tell you why, they leave you thinking youre doing such a good job until the "evaluation" slams you in the face. They really need to communicate straight and tell you what they do and dont want, and train you completely and not half way, the enginees really slack off on instructions so horribly, you'd think simply translating the instructions from swiss to english isnt such a big deal but its bad, they are milking it. So you might want to not show confusion cus its going to hurt the engineers feelings and trust me they will have something to say about you. But not to you, oh no, you wont know what you did wrong, (nothing) they will just tell you that your quality is bad and you cant pay attention and you dont notice things. Its ridiculous. So, as much as they invite it, dont ask questions, answer them.

Pros

Decent pay co workers were helpful and nice

Cons

Management/supervisor unprofessional, run in the cliques . We'll show if they don't like you and try to lie on you to get you fired. Claim to be about production but will let go people who can run machines while keeping those who can barely pull they're own weight around
