Pros
Workload is ridiculously heavy at times which isn't necessarily a bad thing; just plan to work overtime without pay often. If you can keep up, the work is satisfying and most everyone you work directly with is nice. Benefits are good.
Cons
HITT still gets trapped in the Ol' Boy's Club mentality with issues like diversity and flexible work environments. During the pandemic, leadership insisted employees be in the office; even if it exposed field and office workers to the virus or brought hardship to families with children. Leadership fosters a culture of distrust in their lower-level employees; that goes from the CEO down to manager level. They created ERG (Employee Resources Groups) for minorities or groups seeking more advocacy. While it is nice to provide a platform for discussion, this put the brunt of the work onto the minority groups within the company may have already been struggling. Starting and leading an ERG is like taking on a second job with already heavy workloads. Leadership could have done more of the footwork themselves or hired an expert to manage the groups, but the HR team has struggled to hire and keep good Directors and VPs. They also withheld cost-of-living raises for employees during the pandemic in spite of maintaining good financials and purchasing another company during 2020. HITT says they value their employees but their actions speak louder than their words.
