Pros

Compensation, Perks, Benefits --- THE PEOPLE!!

Cons

Convinced "One Harris" is a marketing ploy versus reality. Lack of communication and (interdivisional) collaboration on jobs has been a recurring problem. Have a long way to go before Harris being a "destination workplace" is more than an internal statement. Seen a recent change of Harris becoming more "Top Heavy" and losing it's sense of "family" culture. Have heard negative/toxic discussions about certain employees coming directly from managers, and we have recently let go of many loyal/long-term Harris employees. (both field and office employees) Outdated technologies in certain areas, and lack of planning/direction/strategy around the newer technologies and how they can further benefit Harris.

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

Not knowing upper management personally
