warehouse manager

D2 Government Solutions

Management is horrible and constantly changing their minds on how to run things. It's like playing a game with a kid, rules change only when it benefits them. Supervision is non-existant, which lets the slacker employees run rampant. There are too many hands in the pot: having to deal with marines, federal employees, and D2. Constantly adding rules that go against common sense. Constantly adding duties to the job description, leading further away from original tasks. False promises i.e. proper clothing for weather, proper shelter from elements. Lack of equipment needed to properly do the job. Lack of communication within the company which grants an inability to be able to correct many of the issues. Definitely one of the most shady jobs I've had, lots of stuff going on in the background that made me feel uneasy. They expect you to fix any problem you make right away, but they'll sit on it forever when they've created an issue that hurts you. With that being said, if you end up working for them, keep an eye on your paycheck, benefits, and earned leave.

What was most unsettling was how my termination was handled. There was no prior warning, performance review, or feedback that suggested any issues. I was simply informed that I was being let go, with no explanation of what led to the decision. This abrupt end left me feeling blindsided and unappreciated after the hard work I put in.
Communication from management at all levels including the Prime Contractor Magellan Federal is simply horrible to include the home office in New Bern, NC and the regional managers included especially when it came to the reasons behind my termination. I did not receive any follow-up or clarity on why the decision was made, and the process felt impersonal and abrupt. Sleeping on the job, extended lunch breaks, and watching movies instead of help people with the services they need is an everyday habit of the work environment. 

Working here is the first time I've ever experienced a company that has a supervisory position that requires more responsibility but doesn't offer an increase in pay. Even though they promise adequate shelter from inclimate weather, the only thing they provide is a flimsy canopy. They provide nothing to stay out of the direct sunlight in the summer, we were promised to be able to wear shorts but, because one employee said they don’t wear shorts, the rest of us were forced to wear khakis and suffer in the scorching heat. They have no tolerance for taking off to handle family emergencies or if you get sick. The job itself is simple and straightforward, but the company culture is one putting perceived company interests ahead of the wellbeing of their employees. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
My co-workers are the best part of working for D2.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The most stressful part of working for this company is getting the correct pay rate.
We received Stop Work notices for a total of three times in four years.  The first two times was because they refused to pay us the correct contract rate.  I left before the third one…that time is because they lost the contract bid and laid them off a month before it ended.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
We don’t work at the company proper, we work off site.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
As a contractor I was not at their home office.

D2 Government Solutions makes you feel like you are part of a big extended family.  The managers care about their employees and work hard to make you feel that.  D2 is the first place I have worked where I really felt like I belonged and my skills were suited for the work.  I have enjoyed many jobs but I have found my career here at D2 and I am so thankful for all the training and mentoring I have received from managers and supervisors.  Everyone in our office works well together and day to day operations run like a well oiled machine because every single person here cares about what they are doing. Are there mistakes made? Yes, but mistakes are treated as learning tools.  Management makes you feel so appreciated and encouraged.    

D2 constantly changes their mind on things, making the job harder and harder to do effectively. The "shelter" provided to PLAs is nothing more than a single pop up tent, with no walls to protect against the elements and riddled with holes. We were promised a shelter from the elements and they refuse to spend any money on actually providing. The cold weather gear provided was supposed to be waterproof since we are outside, they are barely water resistant. We were told in the beginning to layer and dress to stay warm, then they starting pushing mandates that you couldn't have anything other than D2 gear showing. Making layering almost impossible. Over all, it was a terribly run company, who treats their employees as though they are expendable. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
It was a fair company to work for. Much consideration was given to those who had situations that interfered with work schedule.   This company was very mission oriented. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The customers we served not accepting of new base orders. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Office and some outside work but primarily indoors and some computer usage.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Parttime, face to face with customers and some interactions by telephone.

Easiest job I had so far. This is a customer service type of job so it’s pretty straight forward. We help with the process of getting people vetted as smooth and quickly as possible. Happy to say D2 is my first job on base. 

I work part-time on-call and at some of the site the pay is no where near worth it. I'll work at sites where I see 15 customers a day in a 8 hour span, and others where I see 30+ in the same amount of time. My point is: at sites are severely underpaid. Employees are stress, SSM's are stressed, and customers tend to treat you with lack of respect after waiting hours to be seen. There is a very high turnover rate/low retention rate for full time positions.

What is the best part of working at the company?
No senior management on site.  Small office

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
No communication from upper management 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Not my cup of tea.  Very strict and regimented.  

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Boring and mundane.  Time goes by slowly.
