LindaC in bethesda, Maryland 28 months ago	I am being considered for a position as an MWR coordinator in Iraq with KBR. I want to talk with anyone who has/is working for KBR in Iraq. I need to know how you feel you are being treated, what are your living conditions like, are you glad you took the job, at which camp are you stationed, do you know anything about camp endurance in Qaiyarah? thanks - Was this comment helpful?

Stella Smith in La Vivienda, Mexico 26 months ago	I have been at about 4 different camps. The living conditions are very good. Very few people (if any) live in tents. Almost everyone lives in a trailer, usually without a roomate. You may have to share a bathroom. Each room is furnished and very much like a college dorm situation only better. I always had hot water, air conditioning and heat (if I wanted it). - Was this comment helpful? Yes (23) / No Reply - Report abuse

Have you been able to get the time off as stated? Do you really work all 7 days a week and 12 hour shifts? - Was this comment helpful? Yes (37) / No (4) Reply - Report abuse

bubblehead in Dallas, Texas 25 months ago	you do work 7/12s not all the time you want to take off is paid holiday pay/approved sick day is only for 8 hours not 12 you are NOT acually an employee of KBR, but rather an off-shore company that does not pay into the us system, so you can not draw unemployment benefits. most of the employees have low work ethics - Was this comment helpful?

paul dorosheff in Saint Louis, Missouri 23 months ago	personal interest in seeking employment with kbr, preferably in Iraq. Have tried on their website,but this seems to be a method of fishing in a pond with an inadequate bait. Did anyone utilize a service that required a sign-up fee? The position I'm interested in is labor forman with possibility to seek other opportunities once there and adjusted. - Was this comment helpful? Yes (17) / No (4) Reply - Report abuse

The position I'm interested in is labor forman with possibility to seek other opportunities once there and adjusted. Experience has been you cannot be hired from outside the company as foreman. You will need to start at the bottom of your field and work your way up. Once you're in the company, you'll wait for a certain amount of time before you can be promoted. We used KBR's website. My advise, apply for all jobs that you have even a slight interest in. I mean, hundreds of jobs. If you apply for just a few, you'll be overlooked. They get millions of applications daily, they go in a "pile" as they come in, you want your's on top, so apply for lots and lots of jobs on a daily basis!!! - Was this comment helpful?

Don't ask questions. Don't question any waste fraud and abuse issues. If you do raise the red flag on any issue expect to be chastised, probably threatened to be fired and most likely transferred to a less desirable location. Promotions are not based on merit and qualifications. They are based on loyalty and nothing more. Ms Sparky mssparky.com/ - Was this comment helpful? Yes (7) / No (1) Reply - Report abuse

missneka in Kansas 2 months ago	I am hearing alot of kbr employees are leaving going to work for Fluor why is this! - Was this comment helpful? Yes / No (1) Reply - Report abuse
Gabriele in Troy, Montana 2 months ago	KBR has no task orders as of right now in Afghanistan, Fluor is taking over part of it. Afghanistan task orders are in transition right now, Fluor gets on part of it and Dyncorps gets the other. So, KBR employees are being offered jobs with Fluor. - Was this comment helpful?

Floridathunderstorm in Florida 2 months ago	I worked in subcontracts for KBR in Iraq. That was in the days that employees lived in tents or homeless shelters. Out of all of the subcontracts administrators there I was one of a very few who knew what he was doing. That actually cost me my job as I tried everything to get the department running correctly. It was impossible. Too many incompetents and too many wooooose supervisors. I was made to transfer from Camp Slayer to a northern startup outpost as a reward for my efforts, which by the way were sometimes 112 hr weeks. I told them "no way" and left. Quite a while later I worked for Parsons in a separate camp in the green zone. Parsons had the best camp in Iraq and everybody knew it. State of the art. New private single person quarters with bathroom, AC/Heat, refrigerator, flatscreen tv, DVD player, high speed internet. Camp had a nice small dining hall, laundry, recreation center, library, mini nightclub. The office building was brand new and comfortable. There was a video store right outside the camp gate and a mini-mall right outside the other camp gate. Compared to KBR and Camp Slayer it was the Magic Kingdom. I worked for Fluor for many years but never with them in Iraq or Afghanistan. A first class engineering and construction company. They appreciate their employees and demand only the best. I believe they will do it right in LOGCAP IV. I may just decide to go over there again, this time with Fluor, although I'm getting on in years. - Was this comment helpful?

It's like a huge runway on a flat piece of desert land with a large burm dirt wall, hesco fences, and concertine wire surrounding it with a lot of guard towers. - Was this comment helpful?
