Plan to leave.. Not grow.

Pros

Some good people. Some good managers. The odd time someone is recognized for something good. Lifestyle rewards are cool. Fast passed.

Cons

High demands and sub standard pay. You will not grow with this company. You may grow wiser, certainly not richer. Have fun for the first while. Don't get stung along... leave, their promises are empty.

Okay on surface, but rotten at the core

Pros

Okay benefits including RRSP matching, option to work remote, friendly co-workers, lots of work available, plenty of travel opportunities. That's what you will be told, and it's true on the surface. If you look a little deeper you will see the reality.

Cons

Benefits aren't the best I've seen, RRSP matching is taken off your annual bonus, option to work remote includes lower salary, co-workers often too friendly, expected to work lots, and lots of unpaid overtime. Sent to remote client sites with no real training and expected to "figure it out." The leader of a sexual harassment seminar said "it's not sexual harassment if the other party enjoys it." That pretty much sums up their attitude on the issue. You will have to fight for any sort of raise beyond the cost of living increases. Work with outdated technology (depending on department) and the education bonus they provide assumes you are using your holiday time (starts at 2 weeks - max 5 after 7 years) for this purpose.

Pros

Originally a great place to grow a career, the new leadership now lacks the capabilities to drive results, especially in the front-line (jails + police) group.

Cons

The current front-line leadership seems like imitations of the former Harris CEO. They can parrot, but not apply the basics of critical thinking. The leadership does not communicate. They will make bad decisions that impact the top and bottom line because they want to " make sure we look good in the market." It's all impression management, but not much business sense is applied. The goal is to preserve EBITA, yet the group leader will sacrifice it to force his local agenda / views onto a global business unit. The business unit is now forced to let go of high-value team members so that the group leader can have a more "on-shore" presence in America when the business is operated out of Canada, Australia, and the UK. The group leader actively sabotages EBITA and financial performance to impose a nationalist and imperialistic stance. It feels psychologically unsafe to work here. As a shareholder, I am deeply concerned that the integrity of shareholder returns is being diluted to uphold

At Harris we are dedicated to creating a culture of respect for our employees. We are also diligent at operation excellence. I am personally reviewing the people and financial data for Frontline based on this feedback. As an EVP (current or past) you have direct access to me or other HR leaders (if you don't know what email to use, please direct your request to weareharris@harriscomputer.com and an HR leader will respond). We are all very open to having a conversation to discuss specifics to understand how we can better support our employees in Frontline and across all of our Harris business units.
