Pros

A challenging workplace Great case study in navigating office politics. Good career advancement opportunities for operations employees

Cons

Culture is a big selling point for the company when recruiting, but there is definitely a disconnect between who they think they are and who they actually are. Construction may be a male-dominated industry, but even with a female CEO leading, HITT doesn't seem to be making any strides toward becoming an inclusive or supportive work environment for women. As an example, during a Peep's Diorama contest aimed at building employee engagement, the winner was "Peep Show", a strip-club themed entry that had a stripper bunny on stage, with HITT trucks parked outside and little table tents that said "reserved for HITT" on the tables inside. What? How is this okay? Egos get in the way of empowerment. Unwilling (or unable?) to evolve. CHEAP. As a $1+ billion dollar company, they don't invest in the tools they NEED despite being more than able to afford them. (think software, licenses, training) No idea how Corporate Resources (finance, HR, marketing, etc.) retains team members. On the operations side of the house we have a lot more autonomy and trust than these teams who are treated as second-class by some in leadership and theres like zero career opportunities for those people. (mostly women in those roles).

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

The office is classy. I’m sure it would be very comfortable if not for the management

Cons

The most unethical companies if had the misfortune to be a part of. Steal from their clients, and shop every Subcontractor proposal. Just to give the contract to the buddies who don’t even have to respond to RFP’s as long as they keep greasing the palm.
