Harvard Integrations

I was hired in the HR Department and was fired for no reason 7 months into my position.  Got them to their goal numbers and was praised for my work and then four weeks later, was let go without any explanation or reasoning.   They hire and fire around 200 or more people a year.  Reason being they will hire literally anyone who applies and has ZERO job training or basic qualifications to even work there.  It's high demand, high stress, strict deadlines for production, so they had us promise a lot when you come in, but realistically, you don't get the training you need due to the high stress of work and deadlines, so its literally sink or swim.  Mandatory 50 hour work weeks no excuses.  Leadership is incompetent and been there too long.  I would suggest looking elsewhere.  High turnover rates due to all the lack of training and promises.  And there is no set starting pay.  They pay you based off of what they feel you are "worth."

Get to work at 6am-4:30 pm one 30 minute unpaid lunch and two 15 minute paid breaks. I learned a lot from Harvard about standards required by other companies. I also learned throughout my time that Harvards biggest struggle is communication and not recognizing who's putting in the work.  I've meet some amazeing coworkers who have put their life into Harvard to make sure it thrives and buildings are completed on time. The issue is that those out going amazeing people are shadows and never go noticed. Every human being wants a sense of self worth especially in a warehouse. I've enjoyed my time at Harvard for the record, but I see no future there for myself.

As a person apart of the Fab team the crew's are quite helpful on teaching you and helping with knowledge and understanding of the in's and out's of what you need to do to build your buildings. Short tempers can get annoying but the majority of the people I've met are friendly and fun to work around. loads of experience if you've never worked in the field they basically accept anyone willing to put effort into learning the job. Can see myself becoming a lifer employee. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
I had a good group of guys to work with. The work was fun and interesting 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Dealing with management and their inability to give you straight answers. And the fact they didn’t know what they were doing half the time.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It was a disorganized mess, safety was a suggestion there. There was no consistency in any of their policies and procedures.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I was the main operator of moving all heavy equipment. So coordinate the moves to get the most out of production each day.

This is a fast paced job with lots of opportunity to use my skills.
Everyone from management on down is very friendly and eager to see me succeed.  
The only real drawback is having to work in the elements at times.  Hot summers and cold winters. Although I'd say that management is sympathetic to this and tries their best to make it comfortable.  Also, the campus is very large and I've gotten too old to get back and forth

there is no pay equality new workers make more than old workers. you will constantly get conflicting information. deadlines that don't make sense. a constant reminder that they dont know how to budget a job. poor choices in tools and the turn over is awful. in addition hr will absolutely forget who they have employed and expect 5+ weeks for hr to do any thing

Great fast paced atmosphere.  Opportunity’s to move up with experience.  They are willing to teach you new  tasks if not experienced.  They have great benefits and the compensation is better then most.  I have learned new ways to do tasks that I have done for other company’s  in a safe more efficient way.  The hardest part of the job would be the deadlines.  The most enjoyable part of the job is that working over 50hr a week is never mandatory.

Harvard supports the electrical power industry and is growing rapidly.  Management is  approachable and focused on investing in the future of the company.  Harvard supports internal growth and promotion.  Fast paced environment with people who work well together.  

A typical day starts with a coordination meeting. Followed by shop clean up, then it's off to work. I feel I have learned to communicate with others more efficiently,  it's a fast paced, but supportive work environment. The hardest part of the job are the deadlines, the most enjoyable part of the job are the deadlines. In a nutshell, you will get out of it what you choose to put into it.

I have loved my time at Harvard and have never worked anywhere that I liked better.

I cannot recommend them highly enough. 

Competitive pay, full benefits, 401k, Flexible Scheduling, Paid Holidays, and excellent opportunities for advancement.
