Pros

Good Hours, Good Family Benefits

Cons

Poor Poor Poor management and leadership skills. Lack of communication. Cut throat environment. Poor Safety and regulations. Horrible H/R. They say they are equal opportunity, but that is not the case. Poor Finance Dept, Poor Customer Service Dept. Hateful mean, manipulative employees - Bullies everywhere from the Managers down.

Pros

Great Swiss designed products and fascinating industry

Cons

The place is run like a medieval village where the king has no cloths and no one says a thing... The is for the Reno Nevada office only, the Swiss office seems to operate more like a normal company. - this site is monitored by HR and operations - current employees are 'asked' to put up new and positive reviews to displace every negative one - current employees would be fired on the spot for being honest on this site, hence most honest current employees reviews 'have' to be anonymous - current employees are forbidden to use Linkedin or other business sites, the owner basically says if your job experience is on Linkedin you are looking for job and are fired, this keeps his employees from networking and finding 'better' jobs - current employees are forbidden from staying friends and socializing with ex-employees even if they ave been friends for decades and even if they where friends before employment there - current employees are all 'time carded' which is the basis for the cost of living pay increase each year, no performance raises 'really' exist there - the US pushes products designed in the Reno office while they might not work as well as the products designed in the Swiss office, the Swiss sell no products designed from the Reno office, so basically the same company ownership but are two competing companies - when positions open, the staff has to 'not tell' perspective employees about the insane culture as they are already overworked and need the help - the owner play favorites and supports an environment of tattletales - the field staff is treated decently since they are run by managers but the Reno staff never knows who is talking to the owner about them - as a right to work State in Nevada, current employees are continually told to do what the management says no matter how insane it is with the last word being: 'if they like working here...'

Pros

Hamilton is a great company. The work environment is mostly positive and the people that work at Hamilton are what make it great. Employees are supportive of one another and there is a strong collaborative teamwork atmosphere. I've worked at both privately-held and publicly-traded corporations in my career. The difference with Hamilton is that you can tell that the owner, Steve Hamilton, genuinely cares about the customers we serve and the employees. Decisions from management seem to made based on what is best for the customer now and in the future, not on quarterly sales numbers or stock price like in publicly-traded corporations.

Cons

Benefits like 401K could be improved.
