A Compant that is Difficult to Work For

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.

Pros

1% of the employees are hard working and honest guys

Cons

favouritism, inequality, serious lack of professionalism, managers are more interested at flirting and scoring with girls than actually manage the place. Female and jobsworth employees gets special treatment all the time, probably because they go drinking and party together. Having skills and a hard working attitude are irrelevant in this company. They are not interested in pro-active solutions and initiatives, the manager will say to wait for customer complains before acting on issues, no wonder so many customers are going to other businesses for their product needs; and that is no surprise, considering quality has seriously gone downhill for the past few years. a lot of us addressed concerns regarding product quality to lack of skills and care from certain employees but we just get pushed to the side and labeled as complainers. but when problems arise the managers are very quick at pointing fingers and blame everyone else but themselves. a lot of good people already left this company and a lot more will soon do, and the only ones left will be their suppose favourites that are just backside kissers. such a shame really because Damon the boss is a gem but unfortunately he is not aware of how the people are running his company like a mafia and to the ground

Pros

Started my career at Harwin in a Customer Service role and have been given opportunities throughout my journey to take on new responsibilities, develop new skills, and grow professionally. Over the years, I have had exposure to different aspects of the business, including sales, distribution management, marketing, operations, supply chain, and business development across the APAC region. One of the strengths of Harwin is that management is willing to trust employees with greater responsibilities when they demonstrate commitment and capability. The company provides opportunities to step outside of your comfort zone, learn different functions, and contribute to business growth. This has allowed me to build a broad understanding of the industry and develop both professionally and personally.

Cons

As the business continues to grow, employees often need to manage multiple responsibilities and adapt quickly to changing priorities. This can be challenging at times, but it also provides valuable learning opportunities and exposure that may not be available in larger organizations with more specialized roles.
