HITT Contracting reviews

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.

There's a big divide between the way leadership views their operations team and their corporate resources team. So much time is spent trying to make the operations side happy that the corporate resources side gets left in the dark. Bonuses for the corporate side is pennies compared to what operations team members get. Leadership was also very unflexible and irresponsible during the pandemic, forcing employees to come into the office full time even if a job could be easily done from home. The office returned to "full capacity" months before it should have. A lot of upper management doesn't have the proper training to actually be upper management and says they prioritize their employees, when management is really just an afterthought for them. Work-life balance isn't great and teams expect you to do whatever it takes to get the job done, even if that means working nights and weekends every week. Even for non-operations team members who are working onsite, hours are long.
