Pros

This review is from someone new to the company but not the industry. My mechanical construction career spans over 40 years with seven (7) different companies, some good and some not so good. This time span has given me a well-rounded perspective on what drives companies to succeed and to fail, as I have experienced both. First and foremost, companies are only as good as the ownership/management that supports them, the ones providing the leadership that walks the walk, not providing just talk. Employees see right through fake leadership and nothing takes a company down quicker than ineffective ownership/management producing disgruntled employees. My employment here at Harris happened by chance, wasn’t something I had searched out, nor was I looking for, but let me tell you, it has been the best thing that has happened to me in the construction industry in my over 40 years. I see that Harris has an effective ownership/management team in place with the goal of being the best! I see where this goal has attracted a group of talented employees who want to be the best and work as a team driving forward to indeed be the best. This is something rare in not only today’s construction, but in the overall history of construction. All you need do is open the computer to “HarrisHUB” and read the happenings throughout the different locations. You can’t help but get excited about the level of projects Harris is currently performing and previously performed and be in amazement at the quality talent level that has been attracted as a result. When a company has a culture challenging the individual to be his or hers best while also rewarding those efforts, what else is there! Success breads more success and the need for quality talent increases along with it. For the individual having that mechanical aptitude coupled with that drive to succeed, Harris will provide the tools and the excitement for you reach the top. If YOU have that drive to succeed, welcome to the Harris Team and look forward to seeing you soon!

Cons

Pros

You get exposed to everything related to construction. Everyone is very helpful in getting you up to speed with the project and gives you a good start to being a well-rounded APM if your career goals is to be in the Construction Project Management industry. They also take summer interns to their main headquarters to meet the executives and other interns, good way to network.

Cons

If you're an engineering major, you don't really get to practice much engineering knowledge you learn in school, but you still learn a lot of new things in construction.

Pros

Above average medical, dental and vision benefits

Cons

Beyond expectations. Minimal training to be proficient with the expectations. No concept on family time vs work. GM is all about sales and has no construction knowledge. He has no idea on what it takes to do the work and get projects completed. Plumbing and Mechanical division field personel had their own agendas and does not work for the company. Sheet metal division has a great superintendent and good GF. Building Automation only has 1 person that knows all. The unfortunate thing is Harris expects Josh to be all do all. This company runs on the principle complete 90% and spend another 30% to get to the finish line.
