Don’t work here

Contractor (Current Employee) – Piscataway, NJ – April 12, 2019

When you get hired for a full time position, they forget to tell you it’s really only a contract position. They promise a benefit package but never deliver. Management is a joke and knows little to nothing about the work.

Great Learning Potential

Finance Administrator (Former Employee) – Sarasota, FL – August 1, 2018

Great Learning potential and great place to work. Learned about government accounting and a great team atmosphere. A typical day involves multi tasking.

Fast paced work involved

Good place to work

Vice President, Sales and Marketing (Former Employee) – Lees Summit, MO – March 8, 2016

Never a dull moment, always meeting, communicating,and negotiating with customers their needs and wants.Required strong people skills. Management was very supportive and understood sometimes a need for change and compromise. Co-workers were dedicated and willing to go beyond. The hardest part of job was the need to be creative and required the ability to think outside the box.
The best part of the job were the people and interacting with them.

Pros

Good people with family atmophere

Cons

No 401k

unorganized and played favorities a lot

Contract Worker for VA Financial Office (Former Employee) – Austin, TX – September 15, 2015

I worked my booty off for this company, I was always the first person in and the last person to leave. I ended up getting really sick and was hospitalized and was fired for a no call no show. Mind you I even was taken out of work one day by ambulance because I was so sick yet I still was trying to go to work and do my job because they said if I did not show up I would be terminated!

Pros

I was able to get my security clearance reactivated

Cons

to many to name

Team Oriented

contractor for the USACE (Former Employee) – Millington, TN – February 23, 2015

It was awesome to walk in the office each morning to smiling faces and genuine hello's, but what was more awesome was that each day when I left, I saw the same smile's and the good by's were as genuine as the one's when I got there. I have been a coach for 20 years and my highest value of a sports team that I look for and strive to obtain is team work, and in the USACE Finance Center Mailroom team work defined us!

Pros

team work, understanding

Cons

n/a

Real Team Atmosphere

Jr. Business Administrative Assistant (Former Employee) – Millington, TN – February 21, 2015

Being a youth and high school head coach most my life, I really enjoyed and embrace the teamwork concept. All were pleasant to one another and always ready and willing to help out our fellow co-workers to make sure that all work which was on a time basis was done in more than a timely fashion. The most enjoyable part for me was all the friendly faces every morning and the same faces when time to leave. Never saw a problem that we as a group were not ready and willing to solve.

Pros

Team Work

Cons

Great company and atmosphere to work in friendly co workers working for a military installation gives the sense of giving back for what they do to protect the very freedom that we all live under.

A contractor for the Fed Gov

Accounting Tech I I (Current Employee) – Austin, TX – June 24, 2014

This contractor promises raises, promotions, and bonus. In the six yrs I have been with this company, I have Never got a bonus nor a raise. I make exactly what a person off the street with no experience makes. If you are not a lead or in charge they dont even know your name. They take money for the H&W benefits that the gov gives us per hour to pay for health insurance and never tell us how much the monthly insurance cost, nor do they give us what is owed that isnt used for the insurance. They have been turned over to the labor board twice for this.

Not a good company!

Pros

none

Cons

everything

Do not clearly explain they hire people to work as contract workers at other companies.

General Clerk II (Former Employee) – Sarasota, FL – August 11, 2012

I did not understand I would be working as a contract worker at the VA FSC in Austin, Texas. I thought they were hiring me to work at the VA FSC as the hiring company. I thought I would actually be working for the government.
Also, they have many rules and policies that are extremely different from the actual employers' rules and policies so it is sometimes difficult to know exactly what the rules and policies are.

Cons

unclear rules and policies
