Pros
Harwin is a Stable Company. The Owner runs the place profitably and has good overall control of the business.
Cons
Old school, old values, old fashioned. Always a tie, no dress down Friday here! Difficult to progress and develop unless your face fits, they have a policy of hiring at a good salary if they want you and then...............no pay rises (not even cost of living) for many years. For me, they used me as a hammer, as soon as I started, to beat down the other middle management, making it difficult to ever recover status. No Management support and I was severely embarrassed by them in front of my peers on many occasions. There is a culture that Management is always right..... and you had better not forget or step out of line. There is a culture of 'strong arm' tactics from the Senior Management and most company memo's include the words 'disciplinary action will be taken' even if the memo's relate to Christmas Party's, etc. Most staff will speak of Harwin being a great place to work', in my opinion they are frightened to say anything more. Glad to not be there anymore.
