Stuck in Their Ways, Little Hope for Change

Pros

Competitive salary and full time benefits. Harris gets awarded really interesting projects.

Cons

There are many things that made going to work everyday a miserable experience. The work environment is stuffy and bland. My experience was quite in-line with what you would expect of a company that is stuck in the '80's, male dominated leadership, gossipy administrative team and zero room for fun it seems. Executive leadership is trying to change the culture, but is struggling to get buy-in from the rest of the company, likely because it doesn't seem like leadership is truly embracing the changes they're trying to make. Executive leadership is also extremely forward about their political beliefs, which made for an uncomfortable work environment. Management is not flexible when it comes to work/life balance. Communication that comes from leadership is not transparent and disorganized, which makes it hard to see the bigger picture.

Pros

Decent Pay and flexible breaks

Cons

Too many office politics. Upper management allows various unethical practices to slip through the cracks. They place their employees in uncomfortable situations and retaliate when they are fearful these practices may be brought to light. There is very little training and management has a very strong “sink or swim” mentality. There is no teamwork and the corporate office has a lot to learn about running a legitimate corporation. I would stay far away from here if you can. The pay is not worth the stress of dealing with an office filled with so many unethical individuals.

After several years of employment field workers are merely numbers to management, easily expendable.
