Defense Support Services Employer Reviews

A great company to work for providing safe and healthy work environment. My co-workers are enjoyable to work with and makes the day go by pretty fast. The hardest part of the job is that it is hard to advance in position.

I enjoyed working with the people on the team. I can depend on everyone to complete a mission whether it is time sensitive or not. Plans changes on a regular basis and it is expected. Even with those unexpected changes, my team puts great efforts to complete the mission. When there are decisions made, either everyone agrees or if not, we all talk it – more... over and explain our differences and move forward from there. – less

If you rat people out for silly things, such as: stopping for a water, not backing up with a spotter, etc.. you get a coin, hooray. BEWARE THIS IS A UNION JOB, I know, it sounds good, but I promise you will regret EVER stepping foot in such a morally bankrupt organization. The only good part were my co- workers, in the same shop. By the way if you tell – more... the truth you may lose your job, it's best to lie at this company, to the management, if you want to keep your job... IF – less

Processed deployed units requisitions for repair parts of vehicles and engineer assets. I learned to work within extreme time constraints. Management did not interact with personnel well. Co-workers were awesome to work with. The hardest part of the day was working with Management. The most enjoyable part of the day was working with the mechanics and – more... getting them their parts. – less

Spend all day (12 hour shifts) fixing and maintaining military equipment, ensuring it was ready for usage. Recovering overturned or broken down equipment, Spent a lot of time running around fixing things that the bosses dropped on us last minute

* it's a 9-5 aviation job
* a lot of exposure to different aviation companies and joint forces gives an individual insight on the entire aviation community
* management changes every so often, some are good and others are better
* the hardest part of the job is the physical demands and adjusting to never ending change
* the most enjoyable part of the – more... job is how unique it is – less

Ds2 is a great company to work for with outstanding benefits

Management let people go early on Christmas Eve and on the following Monday, said sorry for the miscommunication, you will need to take vacation if you want to get paid for leaving early.

Need I need to say more, surely not.

Pre/Post Deployment Inspections.
Isocronal Inspections

Medical Surveillance,Accident investigations,OSHA recordkeeping,Ergonomic assessments,Emergency response,ADA Accommodatiions,Bloodborne Pathogens, travel Immunizations

The biggest problem with the company would be the lack of communication and lack of proper equipment to complete a job properly.

Sometimes the hardest part of the job is just getting in the front gate. This is a military facility and when excersises are being conducted it pinches traffic flow considerably.

DS2 was a big change from the previous contract holder, L3 Communications. We only worked a year with them before Lockheed Martin took over. The benefits were good and we did have a good relationship with upper management, however the esteem we felt with L3 was missing.

on a day to day base you never new what was going to happen , that was what made the day fun at at DS2.

As a total team player I bring 21 years of Aviation Maintenance experience to the table. Identifying and fixing complex problems, complying with all technical publications and blueprint drawings.
As a child looking up at the sky when an airplane passed by over head, I would say to myself “WOW I cant wait to fly one of those!!.) As time went on I realized – more... that my true passion is to fix or build them and watch them fly. I Cant see myself doing anything other then working or maintaining aircraft. – less

Didnt last long because the contract ended. I trained soldiers on their protective mask.

Good place to work great co-workers, i really enjoyed the work we had.

People are treated with respect, you are given the tools to complete your work.

Decent working environment. Employees very professional and easy to work with.

It was not a bad company to work for. The management was not that good.
