Two reasons, one being you don't know your company policy and no one on this forum would know. That's something only your manager can answer. Second reason is you don't have enough knowledge of your current infrastructure to know the ramifications, this isn't a bad thing but if you don't know the consequences I would NOT be configuring that on your work network. Okay, with the above disclaimer, if you configure vCenter on an isolated network partition you won't have any issues. We run a medium size vCenter infrastructure at my work but we don't have a dev environment so I installed ESXi and vCenter on an isolated Host server that only I have access to from a segmented switch in my office. Will just installing Server or ESXi 6.0 break anything - no. But if you incorrectly give it an IP, incorrectly configure a port group or uplink that hits the network and you have IP overlaps or start doing a storage vmotion across a management port you might be updating your resume sooner than you had hoped.
