All a Charade.

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Competitive benefits, profit-sharing (advertised as "annual" but actually calculated based on 11-months pay), surprisingly successful business (considering the poor leadership and prevalent waste of resources)

Cons

Mediocre leadership (promoted due to seniority and not talent), retaliatory environment (those that speak up are let go). HR does not operate to support and grow talent but rather to get rid of people not kissing up to management. Company is years behind in terms of developing a problem solving organization. Some business processes are highly inefficient and corresponding leadership is flat out ignorant on their existence and certainly on how to improve them.

Great Culture, Lacks Opportunity

Pros

Great culture, amazing people, Hunter is a truly 'feel-good' work place. You'll have a hard time finding such a nice, friendly place to work anywhere else. Also, health and fitness is encouraged, gym is new, well equipped, well maintained, and well staffed. Everyone from line workers to senior management is extremely friendly. Hard to beat all of that, which is why most people stay for so long (average tenure is 12-15 yrs). Plus the location (San Diego) means great place to live.

Cons

Salary is below average, despite what HR says. Opportunity for growth is close to none, unless you want to stay for 15 years, even then many employees rarely see opportunities for promotion or growth. Average merit increase is only a point or two greater than inflation, so raises are slim. The innovation 'engine' is lacking, as the culture is severely risk averse.

If you are not Hispanic you don't have a chance.

Pros

Good products, well placed manufacturing system, and efficient machine and equipment. Beautiful lake and park near by.

Cons

No diversity. All workers are Hispanic and some don't even speak English. You are looked down upon if you are not of Hispanic race, regardless of above and beyond performance. I have 10+ years manufacturing experience and was let go in favor of a Hispanic where this was his very 1st manufacturing job.

Hunter Industries Response

Thank you for the feedback*. Skills, experience and cultural fit for the organization are the only factors considered when making a hiring decision. We're proud of our employees, our products and our community; all of which are quite diverse. Our workforce is comprised of a nearly 50/50 split between minorities and non-minorities. More workplace demographics can be found in the review of Hunter Industries written by Great Place to Work: http://reviews.greatplacetowork.com/hunter-industries. *Based on the short tenure mentioned in this review, compared to our average of 14 years, it's possible that the reviewer was actually not an employee of Hunter Industries but rather a temporary employee from our contingent workforce provider.
