Pros

Offers good starting vacation time and has a good holiday schedule. Work/life balance is okay.

Cons

Benefits get worse every year. Very old school company that has a very top-down approach. Management is a joke, as well as the culture. This place does not make people excited, passionate, or motivated to do well and to grow themselves in their career. It's a very depressing old school culture that refuses to commit to the change that will be necessary down the road. No one wants to look outside the box or embrace the future, and the few people there that do are quickly shut down. While there, I felt judged based on my gender and age, and I have never felt so intellectually and creatively suppressed in a work place ever. No one seems happy to work there--employees are resentful, disgruntled, and go in day in and day out without any desire to grow the company or themselves. It is not an environment that inspires whatsoever. Unfortunately, every time they have hired someone really talented and good for the company, they quickly lost that person due to the horrible culture. My advice? Slowly turn around, walk the other direction quickly, and never look back.

Pros

A consistent five‑day work week schedule.

Cons

Hussmann may be a recognizable name, but the internal experience is far from positive. Management is consistently reported as disorganized, unresponsive, and disconnected from the day‑to‑day realities employees face. Support from leadership is minimal, and follow‑through on basic issues is often lacking. Advancement is rare, and many employees feel stuck with no clear path forward regardless of performance or effort. These problems contribute to a workplace culture that feels negative, discouraging, and unnecessarily stressful. Stronger leadership, real opportunities for growth, and a genuine commitment to employee well‑being are badly needed. I would never recommend working at Hussmann.
