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

I've only been at Harris a short time as of this review but I have to say coming onboard with Harris has been great experience. Harris uses the phrase "Remarkable People Remarkable Results" and that couldn't be more appropriate. Everyone that I have interacted with in Harris so far has been extremely welcoming and helpful. I felt like "the new guy" on the first day but have felt like "one of the guys" ever since.

Cons

The only con I have is that I started with Harris during Covid and haven't had the chance yet to interact in person with my team.

Thank you for giving your feedback! We are glad your experience at Harris reflects our value of collaboration. With COVID-19, Harris has had to adapt our work situations to provide the safest working environments for our employees. We are glad that despite being unable to meet everyone in person at this time, you feel welcome and a part of the team already! We wish you continued success.

Toxic Environment

Pros

PTO - 2 weeks Sick - 2 weeks

Cons

They act like they care, but they don't. There is no collaboration and no support. Accounting had to do what Purchasing dept refused to do ( clean up data for new system). Training was terrible. Employee will be nitpicked for any and all mistakes. There's no support and when asked for additional training, provided recommendations on what can the team do to assist, recommendation was knocked off the table and told "accounting is accuracy and attention to detail". They refused to acknowledge the harassment and toxic environment after many discussions. So many other things to list, but do NOT work for this company. TOXIC environment. No TEAM support. No proper training. You're expected to know the organization within 90 days! Part of the 90 days is: meeting the team and getting to know them. They fail to introduce you to the people you're working with. It is YOUR responsibility to initiate these meetings and grow your own relationships. Boss is timid and does not step up. Boss also allows herself to be harassed by her employees. Which is unacceptable!

Thank you for writing this review. We are sorry to hear that you have had a negative culture experience at Harris. This is not reflective of our values. As Harris has grown and changed, we have experienced growing pains as we bring team members across the company under a single mission statement. We are always looking for areas to improve upon and we appreciate your feedback. We encourage anyone who is experiencing a toxic work culture to discuss their concerns with their direct supervisor and Human Capital.
