Pros

Competitive compensation and job growth HITT is great to have on your resume and most people who work for the company are excellent at what they do and have lots of knowledge. You will learn a lot.

Cons

Extreme nepotism, no work-life balance, does not uphold company values, and focuses on the "perception" of strength. Super toxic and zero modern ideation or standards of professionalism. I would not recommend women or people of diversity to not work for any operations team. Subcontractors on the field are more PC and respectful than HITT office staff, who is the GC. Expect to work the amount of two people and to ever impress anyone, then expect to work the amount of three people. Be prepared that everyone in the company is somehow related or childhood best friends with each other. This makes the atmosphere fun, but jokes often go way too far. There is a big "bullying" culture. For example, being flicked in the ear or neck if hair isn't clean and tight and punishing employees for having hobbies that might prevent them from working overtime a certain day. Everyone is very stressed and misery loves company. There will be lots of pizza parties though. You will receive 3 weeks of PTO, but will be expected to work one weekend every month, which is 12-20 days to work for free, and this includes holiday weekends.

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.
