Pros

I think HITT does a good job developing young talent and promoting from within. The recent change in leadership shows that the Company is ready to take HITT to the next level and is ready to take on the challenges brought on by construction in today's economy and market.

Cons

In my opinion, the work-life balance isn't great and work hours are long and rigid. Many people work Saturdays and some Sundays with little-to-no extra compensation or benefit other than showing you buy into the Company culture. As this is the case with many top notch construction firms, I would just be aware what you are getting into before you join a certain sector (interiors, govt, base building, technology, etc.)

Pros

Compensation and benefits are competitive compared to some general contractors.

Cons

* Poor work-life balance. Weekend work was frequently expected without additional compensation or meaningful recognition. * Role expectations were unclear. As an Assistant Project Manager, I was regularly expected to perform superintendent duties in addition to my own responsibilities, creating unrealistic workloads. * High turnover and frequent leadership changes resulted in inconsistent direction and a lack of support from upper management. * Inexperienced employees were promoted into Project Manager positions without sufficient training or mentorship, which often impacted project execution and placed additional pressure on other team members. * During my pregnancy, I did not feel supported by management. Instead of working with me to plan for maternity leave, I felt increasing pressure through unrealistic expectations and heightened scrutiny, leaving me with the impression that the company preferred I resign rather than take protected leave. This was one of the most disappointing aspects of my experience. * Communication and employee support depended heavily on the individual manager, leading to inconsistent treatment across teams. * Long hours and expectations to constantly be available made it difficult to maintain any work-life balance.
