Nothing good to say
Armament Lead, Kuwait (Current Employee), Camp Arifjan, Kuwait – May 10, 2013
Pros: opportunity to work in kuwait
Cons: no sense of ownership, meaning no one takes their job personally and the ones who excel at their job, are always the ones that get overlooked.
Nothing good to say. No sense of ownership, meaning no one takes their job personally and the ones who excel at their job, are always the ones that get overlooked. Instead of Company standards, it is more on the line of Standards of Convenience and this goes from the worker all the way up to management.

overall great company
Supply Supervisor (Current Employee), Afghanistan – April 24, 2013
Pros: great support
Cons: in a war environment.
A typical day at work, issue , received and stored items for the SSA. and customer service. I learned a lot of the sections in the SSA, considering I had done CIF prior to this job. Management and co-workers were good personnel to work with, great support. The hardest part of the job is you never knew when you would have an IDF. The most enjoyable part – more... of the job, is everyone worked as a team, at the end of the day, it was successful. – less

More hostile work environment than an active war zone
Safe Custody (Current Employee), Camp Buehring, Kuwait – April 22, 2013
Cons: not being re-embursed for expenses you were told you would be re-embursed for.
Unless you are used to being stabbed in the back, lied to, and required to pay for items required outside of your contract, do NOT work for this company.

gunsmith (Current Employee), kuwait, camp arifjan – March 30, 2013
Pros: tax exempt pay checks
Cons: 7000 miles away from america
very enjoyable work atmosphere, laid back when work load is low, and high pace when work load is high... I go to the gym during my lunch break which is VERY convenient, and i am allowed to eat at anytime through out the day so it works out. i work a lot of hours and the commute is longer than I'd like but all in all a great job... work 6 days a week – more... and 13hrs a day, management is great always willing to help people better themselves... my co-workers are my best friends i love the people i work with... I have learned everything about military weapons and how to tear them all the way down repair clean and reassemble them... I have aquired a secret cleance granted by the government... however due to the budget cuts in our nations defense and gov employees, the contract i am on most likly will not be renewed for this company so i am looking for a new career – less

Near Trailing Edge Military Technology
Systems and Proposal Engineer (Current Employee), Colorado Springs, CO – March 27, 2013
Good place to work as a small team on a project. Management up to the program level knows what the customer wants and needs. Upper management lives in their own world where the right and left hand do not know what the other is doing. As with all military contractors - employment is never stable. Layoffs happen quarterly to meet the stockholders report – more... expectations. – less

Good Stepping Stone
Technical Control Facility Technician (Former Employee), Middle East – March 12, 2013
Pros: money, good vacation, work hours
Cons: location, management, living conditions, job is gone at the end of 2014.
They have a high turnover due to management. Most of the in the field management does not have proper qualifications. The living conditions are horrible, of course your in a war zone or third world country most of the time. This is only for ITT Exelis Inc. and not rest of ITT company.

Great pay, poor management
Fire Prevention Specialist (Current Employee), Bagram – March 12, 2013
Pros: pay
Cons: management
Be prepared to have a new crisis every week. Management will not stick up for their employees and piles on additional responsibilities that are well outside your scope of work. Pay is fantastic, but work environment makes it not worth it.
