There is never a dull moment! I am surrounded by a team of people who are committed to getting the job done and who have fun while doing it!

Alicia, Accounts Payable Specialist , Corporate Office
What do I like best?
Endless possibilities!
"It is really hard for me to pick just one or two things that I like best about The Hamister Group. This is such a great company to work for - not only in benefits, but its atmosphere, coworkers, type of work related to my job, freedom, and the list can go on! Everyone here is so helpful and friendly. It's nice not to dread going into work. It makes the day so much better when you look forward to doing something instead of thinking of reasons not to go in! Management here allows me to be an individual and try out new business practices related to my position. I think it's very motivating that my coworkers are willing to listen to my point of view, and share their opinion if it's different. I have never worked for a company that I'm proud to be a part of like I am with The Hamister Group. I plan on staying here indefinitely as there is so much to learn, and the company is growing so much! Possibilities are endless..."

John, Senior Vice President, Mergers and Acquisitions, Corporate Office
What do I like best?
Exciting opportunities and fun people!
"At The Hamister Group each day is a new and exciting opportunity. This is a fast paced, entrepreneurial company where the employees are empowered to make the decisions necessary to perform their jobs. As a privately held company, decision making at the management level is streamlined, enabling management to take advantage of opportunities in the marketplace. The Hamister Group is a company that continually looks for ways to improve itself, always striving to be the best in each business that it is in. The company is not stuck in the mode of “well, we’ve always done it that way”, but constantly challenges what we do and the way we do it. The company is a customer service based business and is always looking for ways to meet or exceed the customer expectations. With all of that said, what I probably enjoy the most are the people. The Hamister Group is a collection of talented, fun-loving people who do their best to help each other and the company succeed." |

Barbara, Administrative Assistant, Corporate Office
What do I like best?
Supportive co-workers and friendly atmosphere!
"What I really like about The Hamister Group is the friendly, upbeat, and supportive atmosphere. Everyone here is more than willing to answer questions and offer explanations (and being new I ask lots of questions!). You feel that the people here really want you to succeed and that your efforts are valued. And as a new person I was made to feel I part of the group from the beginning. Though everyone is very busy all day, there is still humor and laughter. That really makes a big difference. It’s a great working environment here." |

Helen, Recreation Assistant, Brompton Heights Assisted Living Residence
What do I like best?
Work is my second home!
"I absolutely love working at Brompton Heights. I truly feel that God sent me to this facility. There have been a variety of things I have done in my life that seem to mesh perfectly with the residents.
They quickly become like an aunt, uncle, grandparent and friend.
At Brompton Heights it's nice to work with caring co-workers. We sometimes share recipes, jokes and shoulders.
Our directors of each department work very hard to make this facility home. " |

Jack, President, Corporate Office
What Do I Like Best?
Growth, flexibility, and fun!
"The entrepreneurial environment. It allows each individual to make decisions within the boundaries of their position. The ability to influence the strategic and tactical decisions being made each day. The culture. We are intense, but also relaxed. Staff is never looking over their shoulders. The team mentality. You never feel that you are on an island. There is always someone to help or guide you. The flexibility. Nothing is ever written in stone. If you can demonstrate an ROI, improved efficiency or improved morale, it is open for discussion. FUN! We have fun and we enjoy our co-workers' company. The growth. Growth through acquisitions. Growth through experience. Growth through education. Growth through sharing with each other our Best Practices." |

Gail, Senior Accountant, Corporate Office
What Do I Like Best?
Values, professional growth, great co-workers, and Mark Hamister!
"The Hamister Group is my choice of employment for many reasons. The first is the great group of co-workers. My co-workers not only believe in the company’s core values, but they demonstrate them all the time. I have grown professionally at The Hamister Group and the company continues to add to who I am. I’m continually learning new things. One of the most important reasons is Mark Hamister. I love his commitment to Western New York and his enthusiasm for his businesses. Lastly, I look forward to coming to work, how many people can honestly say that?" |

David, Financial Analyst, Corporate Office
What do I like best?
Team work and daily acts of kindness!
"I have a unique perspective toward work because I was retired or partially retired for approximately 10 years. I have a 5 year old son, Daniel, who will immensely benefit from observing his dad leaving for and returning from work. He will see that our lives are improved through my meaningful work. For me, work is an expression of freedom. Work started for me at the age of 9 delivering the Danville Daily News and the Sunbury Daily Item. Being kind and reliable reinforced life skills; I was rewarded with great Christmas tips and in many other ways. I believe that one can derive immeasurable satisfaction from work. I enjoy working for a team that is known for its kindness. Mark encourages each team member to personally deliver the highest level of kindness. It is a privilege to exchange my productivity for my employer’s expectations." |

Kay, Regional Director of Operations Health Care
What Do I Like Best?
Our customers and the opportunity to serve them!
"I have always enjoyed a challenge and the opportunity to explore new career options. I was intrigued by the Hamister Group because it is progressive, innovative, and truly listens and responds to "guest" desires. My supervisor and and the organization's leadership provide opportunities for professional growth and creativity. I am motivated by friendly competition and the desire to beat the completion. I know we can do this because we provide superior services and products. I am also motivated by being acknowledged for doing a good job. The thing I enjoy the most......the residents and the opportunity to interact with them and their families." |

Steve, Staff Accountant, Corporate Office
What Do I Like Best?
New challenges and my co-workers!
"I've been with the company since 1995. One of the main reasons for my longevity is I've taken on many different job positions with the company, which in a way makes it fun for me because I'm not always doing the same thing day after day. I'm always involved in different projects, too. Also, I enjoy my co-workers, some of which I've known a long time. We've become good friends." |
