Don’t fall for fake reviews - Maintenance Technician Harrison Richards Employee Review

The work environment was great! All of my co-workers were very friendly and helpful. I gained a lot of valuable experience on the job!

To be honest, I don't have anything negative to say

Learn about all aspects of the business Coworkers are generally nice Location Pay/Benefits are okay

Working at Harrison Richards was the worst professional experience of my life. Turnover is VERY high here, and for good reason. The owner is extremely condescending, rude, negative, and close-minded. She micromanages everything, but does not effectively communicate what she wants. You have absolutely no autonomy, and it's impossible to complete a task without her criticizing all of your work. She is unprofessional and asks questions/makes comments that are not appropriate in a work setting. Even if she is most clearly in the wrong (which is most of the time), you will be blamed and attacked for her mistakes. In addition to the poor culture, this company runs about as well as the Titanic. The high turnover leads to it always being understaffed which puts pressure and extra work onto everybody else. Tenant requests, general maintenance, and apartment care take forever since there aren't enough people. This means you will constantly have angry tenants taking out their frustration on you. There is no work/life balance here. You will come in early and leave late every day. Also, all managers (even those outside of the maintenance team) are expected to be "on call" for a month at a time. You will be assigned tasks that have nothing to do with your job/are not listed in your job description. For example, I, as a manager, was required to do tasks such as snow removal, pest treatment, cleaning, maintenance, etc. Overall, the owner is a bully and is the main reason all of the employees leave. Even if you can mentally handle being criticized every day, the low morale, extreme workload, high turnover, and lack of professionalism will make you hate working here. Beware!
