Army Corps of Engineers Employer Reviews

It was fine. Especially if you were a permanent employee but not if you were temporary. You don't have the opportunity to become permanent employee, especially if you were a civilian.

A typical day at work is learning something new every time you walk into the office. Management was well organize and each co-worker was willing to teach you.

This position gave me the opportunity to work with Congressional Staff, higher military ranking staff, and provided me a better picture of how the government supports the military in meeting their objectives. A typical day was rushed, but none the less, very productive and rewarding.

This was a very exciting place to work. I was there when Hurricane Floyd came in and flooded NC. The entire company is always on call for emergencies and handles them efficiently.

The company has a lot of wonderful people who work together to accomplish a common goal. I got to meet a lot of great people and learn new things. I also go the opportunity to travel to some nice places.

Daily inspection of equipment operation both visually and by operation. Use of work orders to perform preventive maintenace. Input of finished work orders into computer program to track time. Management easy to work for, we're all like one big family. Co-workers were excellent to work with and we all worked well together to get jobs done.

It was always something different everyday was different. My boss was understanding if I didnt understand something so he would send me with a crew where I could learn. Miss this job. Best one I ever had!

My typical day at work is filled with activities, either working or with organizational functions, I learned much about data management and computers. Management are very slow to making decisions.
My co-workers are great, the hardest part of my job is dealing with internal attacks and coups. THe most enjoyable part of my job is the work/ life balance – more...  it gives me. – less

Excellent place to work great people and compensation. Only worked there a short while but enjoyed every minute of it.

I grew up in the army under the guidance and discipline of the vetereans of the Viet Nam war. Finished High School and began college Earned college support upon Honorable discharge w No reseve Obligation . Developed an attitude that was postive in all circumstances . Can Do !

Workload varies throughout the year depending on project deadlines, but overall a very relaxed and quiet environment with fantastic benefits.

It was very quiet and a safe area. The co workers are very nice and helping in many situations. It turned out to be a temporary job so i was not able to learn new material than i already had.-

Not for the faint of heart, the US Army Prime Power Course at Fort Belvoir (now moved to Fort Leonardwood) was as demanding as it gets. And after than, the assignments came fast and furious in all sorts of environments, including the aftermath of numerous hurricanes and earthquakes. Not easy to get into, and tough to survive, but worth it.
