Pros

Some of the people in the corporate office are nice They have a fancy coffee machine in the break room

Cons

Executive and senior leadership espouses collaboration and being One Harris and then turns around, consolidates their own power and does not promote and practice a collaborative team mentality. The organization is trying to be an enterprise but is lacking severely in established processes. For the processes they have in place they let the different office sites and departments ignore them and operate as they see fit. The environment is very toxic, you have little support from senior management and the only way to accomplish anything is to fight against co-workers and other departments. Their Human Capital department will likely respond to this with platitudes but they are among the worst. I've witnessed little care for the employees, retaliation when they are questioned on practices and multiple examples of general ineptitude, the most glaring of which is the deployment of the new HR system that was done exceptionally poorly of an "enterprise" organization

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We apologize for that you had a negative experience. Harris is always improving upon our processes and are evolving the ways our departments interact with one another. The experience you had does not reflect our goals of transparency and collaboration. Our executive leadership team cares deeply about improving processes and developing trusted relationships between employees. We sincerely appreciate your feedback and will take that into account as we continue to make changes.

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.
