Heavy Mobile Equipment Operator Mechanic (Current Employee), Texarkana, TX – May 16, 2013
There are too many lay offs going on right now. I enjoy the people, managers, and co workers. The hardest part of the job is working nights.

Business Line Administrator (Former Employee), DTC, CO – May 9, 2013
I was fortunate to work for URS for so long. During the time I was there I was constantly being moved up in my positions and given more responsibility. It was difficult to manage work and life because there were many late nights and early mornings that I was required to be at work for.

Great place to begin a career, with more opportunities provided with URS reputation with clients
Industrial Hygienist (Current Employee), Cincinnati, OH – May 9, 2013
Pros: easy travel planning/reimbursement
Cons: little interaction with management
Interactions with URS management were minimal, but always positive. URS leaves most of the day to day decisions to the client for whom you work directly, a huge plus. Travel planning was made VERY easy by the great staff at URS/RCS. Would definitely recommend.

Control Room Operator (Current Employee), Stockton, Utah – May 7, 2013

Nothing exciting...
Director (Current Employee), Mid Atlantic – May 3, 2013
You punch the clock and you are billable then you are safe. Butts in seats contracts that are by no means inspiring.

Typical Government Contractor
Engineer (Former Employee), USA – May 1, 2013
Pros: steady paycheck
Cons: expensive benefits, poor benefit coverage, difficult management
Other than a steady paycheck during the recession, there's not much good to mention. Seems this corporation exists only to take taxpayer's money from the government. Management runs with an Army attitude, and don't promote open communication or inventive thought. The good ol' boys network runs deep, so if you're in the club, you'll have a great career, – more... otherwise, URS is a stepping stone to some other company that will challenge and appreciate your skills. – less

Came to an end to fast
Control Room Operator (Current Employee), Hermiston, OR – May 1, 2013
Pros: excellent pay and benefits
Cons: conclusion of facility operations
The people were great to work with.
I learned a lot about plant operations and utility systems function.
The benefits were great and you had ample time off opportunities.
It was very difficult to adjust to a rotating shift schedule.

Good pay, poor job security
UH-60 General mechanic- troubleshot malfunctions (Former Employee), Fort Lewis,WA – April 22, 2013
Pros: good pay
Cons: benifits have been taken away, job security is poor
Working for URS can be shakey. I was laid off and re-hired less than a month later. I was again laid off about 2 months later. Working for them is OK, but it seems like they are more interested in their bottom line than the employee. Over the past few years the company took away all paid sick days, 401K matching, and changed paid vacation policies. – more... All of this lead to my own worksite voting in a union in order to protect our benifits. – less
