Hammonds Employee Review

Very demanding, poor management structure.

Manager (Former Employee) - various - 16 May 2022

If you have ever watch "The Office" then you can relate to this high pressure sales company, stuck in the 80s, had a recent MBO and are desperate for each sale. They operate a high pressure sales and office environment, high staff turnover of office and install teams. Very poor management structure that like to micro manage every minute of the working day, which is approx a 14 hour day. The computer system the use is from the 1970s and Head office is a series of portacabins with buckets everywhere to catch the rain as the roof constantly leaks, very little investment in the company, staff or training.

Company is toxic & bullying

Manager (Former Employee) - United Kingdom - 18 May 2022

Hammonds is an aweful place & i strongly reccommend everyone to avoid. Customers & staff are not looked after but more inportantly are manipulated & pushed into bad situations. Theres zero upside to this company.

Poor to work for

Manager (Former Employee) - Broadstairs, Kent - 22 October 2019

Left alone with little support and no loyalty to staff a great product but little support for those at the sharp end. Needs to believe in managers to manage instead of micro managing

Pros

Great Place to work

Manager (Current Employee) - Retail - 17 October 2018

This company has a great culture. It's a family business, but, massive!! I have worked here for 5 years and always wanted to stay! The wages aren't great, but, the culture is and there is advancement if you work for it. I would recommend Hammond's as an employer all day long.
