Pros

A lot of the employees are awesome and friendly Lots of overtime is availible

Cons

Where to begin: A coworker was showing me a specific way he builds the units we worked on and used a hand motion showing me which way he puts the bolts in. The warehouse supervisor then walked up and said "Hey, less *waves hand mocking coworker* and more building the units, ok?" In a smug tone That is the type of environment you are working in with Havis. They assume you are a bad worker from day one and the employees learn to avoid managers or lookout for them, it is sad. Lot of temp workers that do not care about anything. I walked outside for 20 seconds to hand my wife money because she had to stop by for whatever reason and was threatened that walking outside is a terminateable offense. I laughed it off and quickly found a new job. This place is run like a prison and only seems to keep people that are ok with being treated like that or have no other options. I understand that it is assembly work so you do not need to be very educated but there is a term that 2 different coworkers told me at Havis: "Easy hire, Easy fire." - They really did seem to hire anyone and everyone. The risk of potential injury from coworkers is real, I watched a guy get a screw stuck in a metal bracket, he used a power drill set too high to try removing it, it flung the bracket across the room and could've damaged someone's eyes. I seriously do not recommend this workplace and it's sad because it could have been a great experience. After I was told I could be fired for walking outside for a few seconds I found a new job within the month and never looked back.

Pros

The production teams are great people

Cons

Office people and HR department runs the company. If your not in the office you don't matter. I was a 20 year employee and they treated me like I was nothing. The HR department has no integrity for the employees. They use their policies how ever they see fit to whom ever they want. I was a high paid employee for years then Havis bought us out and in a short time they gave me trumped up charges of attendance and using the punch in system wrong. They allowed supervisors to use the ADP website to pinch in and when HR didn't realize we could punch in from anywhere, they gave us disciplinary actions. This is a bad company to work for, if you don't fit their ever changing mold then you will be let go.
