This is a stable place to work. You’d have to do something really, really bad to get fired. If you’re looking to work a mediocre job and coast into retirement, this is the place. Most jobs do not allow for any work from home so the life balance is far from decent, especially if you have to commute a decent amount. Also, if you don’t arrive prior to 6 AM, you’ll be walking really far to and from your car every day, not fun in the winter. Snow days are now a thing of the past as well, which used to be one of the very few nice perks. 

You have to deal with all of the red tape, restrictions, invasion into your personal info and all the other things that come with working for the government, except since you’ll still be a private sector employee, you’ll do so without ANY of the government perks. You don’t even get all of the federal holidays. 

My manager was great but my coworkers in the same position that I held were horrible and toxic, always trying to make trouble for me when there was none. Fortunately, my manager always had my back and knew I wasn’t doing anything wrong but this isn’t good enough since they don’t ever remove toxic, horrible people who don’t do their jobs and spend their days doing nothing but trying to cause issues. I would’ve had to live with that for years, so I left. I don’t need negativity and stress at work. It’s amazing to me that they keep people around that have nothing better to do except to be miserable to their coworkers and try to make their work life rotten, completely ruining the culture. If my horrible coworkers’ goal was to get me to leave, it worked. Now I have a job with a wonderful company, I have amazing life balance I never thought was possible and I get ALL of my annual time off up front. At NNL, I had to spend an entire year without taking a single day off to save up enough vacation time to even be able to take a little bit off without depleting every little bit I had. I was completely burnt out and miserable and then add into the mix those horrible coworkers, I was not about to continue to live like that. Having to accrue time is a joke and  they don’t give you much pod time off unless you’ve been there over a decade. My advice is to look elsewhere. Sad to say this as I had high hopes for this position. 

Worked there for about 5 months was lied to from the beginning was told that I was going to be directly hired over from there own internal temp agency in only 4 weeks a month that never happened. They lied to me about the work site location they said I was going to work for another company and then they lost the contract so they put me in another site. Once, there they had the facility supervisor handling all of the budgets for not just my site but all 9 sites. They said that I would grow and do more than just the mail room but that never happened instead was forced to work a full day with 5 hours of down time and when I mentioned I needed more work they said no that I don't have the process when I asked can I have access to learning the process I was told no not ready plus the facility supervisor handles all that and it is not necessary for me to learn it. They get contracts from big companies but they don't want to think about them when they are on site I was told to ignore them and not worry about them. After 5 months it came to an end for me just beware they will lie and not give you managerial support when you need it. Also the facility supervisor is in Englewood NJ never comes on site to see the work that is being done on other sites she is always too busy to discuss business and then she gets mad when you try to take on responsibility for your own site which they will tell you that they want you to run your own site but tie your hands when it comes to accounting and purchasing supplies which does not exist you have to send an email to the facility supervisor and she will contact other sites for supplies not allowed to purchase from any vendor. Also the final straw for me when I was told to take a pay cut or take part time sorry that is not why I put up with all of this for a pay cut and part time when you hire someone for full time that is what they expect and oh yea only 5 months of this.

During my time with FLUOR, there were to many managers on our project. One could have ran it appropriately, but it seemed the other's were assigned just to bill the client. As a seasoned professional, I  took pride in doing the job correctly, for the client, professionally and with hope to help the company succeed and be awarded more project contracts. However, my time there was anything but quality work, the management was more concerned about numbers to make bonus and it showed in the work they sent out. This has become an epidemic in a lot of engineering and designing companies where they are more interested in making a quick buck than having years of profitable work/contracts. This  doesn't allow for any job security for any professional and it takes the professional drive right out of anyone who worked/works there. A schedule was provided, but completely inaccurate for quality work for the client. I do not see FLUOR being awarded anymore contracts like the one I just worked due to poor quality and an absence of proper management. I really enjoyed the workers I worked with as they had to endure this much longer than I. As a professional Project Manger (BAS Degree and years in the military) I have worked 20 years in different engineering design disciplines and this contract was one of, if not the worst schedule design I have ever been on. I personally could have ran this schedule and milestones much cleaner, with quality to where the client would have been excited to move forward on any other project, as well as new clients wanting to sign. Most importantly, the company would have been able to hire directly, new talent and retain current employees for years with a life/work cycle that benefited the company for years to come.

When you work for a company that has absolutely NO women or even men of color in the top tier of management, expect that if you are one of the above, you will be passed over as if you don't exist.  It's true that there are many excellent engineers who are "white males" also being passed over, but when someone with excellent credentials is not even considered to be trained to move up to replace the many over-70 white men working there, in favor of some youngster who is handsome, white, and a real yes-man, it's time to find a job somewhere else.  Nothing they give lip service to, like their  GROW program for women engineers, will make any difference.
  They will use your experience as a TRS contract employee, and dispose of you when the project is stalled, and not even think twice of it, despite recommendations from all the fellow workers that really liked working with you.  You get fair pay, a desk and a phone and a work station, and when your contract is up they will not even say thank you, fare-thee-well, or let's do an exit interview.  Just don't let the door hit you on the way out.  
  The managers are courteous during the work day, but not always helpful, so don't expect much communication from the bosses giving each other award recommendations, but not even the time of day to you.  The hardest part of the job is keeping your mouth shut.
  They like to do "town hall meetings" which they think fulfills their obligation for communication, but the Q&A period is rigged with ringers in the audience and canned answers to the canned questions.  That is the truth and factual.  This sounds like rotten eggs, but I would be happy to go back to work there again for the pay and the friendships made.
  The good news is that the cafeteria food is fairly priced and diverse.  Your co-workers will be awesome, and the donuts and coffee are free.

Fluor is a horrible company with horrible work practices. They are paid hundreds of dollars per hour per employee yet pay their employees dirt cheap wages, bottom in the industry for risking their lives. They make promises of raises but once pay period hits there is no raise and they decide they have changed their minds, for no other reason than they met their quota with nothing but a promise. Their foreman are mentally abusive and force employees to do illegal and dangerous work with threat of being fired and when something goes wrong they don't take responsibility. The same goes for the higher ups. We actually had a group of higher ups come onto our plant to ask about "employee moral" and what they could do to fix it. After a unanimous "more money" across the board they sent the foreman back to let us all know that even though were it not for our skills they would have no company that we would get NOTHING more than more hours and a pay cut. They also cut corners using cheap products for projects when they should use top dollar products providing a poor service that the company will never know about until an accident happens and fluor is long out of the picture. There is a reason they are number 1, they pay poorly, treat employees like dirt, hire illegal aliens and cut corners at job sites. Anyone happy in their positions are either management who get bonus's for the work the real employees do while they sit on their buts in offices poking their heads out only long enough to beat everyone down or office personnel who treat construction workers like dirt. I don't know anyone who doesn't work at Fluor as a temporary alternative, this place can't keep GOOD employees, they go for the money. I use them strictly as a "in the meantime" job. 

My days began with checking e-mail. On training days for new hires we started by handing out materials and giving power point safety presentations. I then collected heavy equipment operators licenses and other certifications. After handing out PPE, I  escorted the employees to the nurses station on site where I oversaw the drug screens. 
Generally I had time after this to update logs of certifications, licenses, parking passes, drug screens, and general new hire information. During this time, I made copies for foremen for equipment checks and replenished their bins. I created signage, worked with the foreman on JSA's, worked on plans, collaborated with individuals within the company and kept up with handing out safety equipment as needed. I kept inventory of the safety equipment and placed orders. If there was an injury, I notified the manager on site and completed the proper documentation. I walked on site to observe and would go back to the office to complete paperwork and be available as the central contact for employees, foremen, vendors, etc. Certain days were set aside for fit testing. I also participated in safety meetings and took attendance. 
My coworkers were easy to get along with and  we worked well together. Management ensured things went smoothly and stayed on task. Even the safety managers in the main office were accessible and informative.
The hardest part of the job was knowing the boundaries between the safety management of the company and the safety management of the contractor, as I was new to this. Yet, we all collaborated well to come to an agreement on issues that arose.
I enjoyed everything about the job.

Fluor Corporation is the best-managed and most people-friendly company I've ever worked for. This is an EPCM company that does engineering, procurement, construction, and maintenance for capital projects in the energy industry, a very complex industry to say the least. Key organizing systems and tools at Fluor include the Operating System Requirements (OSR), Project Management Manual (PMM), Standard Project Procedures Manual (PPM),  Projects Online (POL) for online project management, and the Project Status Reporting (PSR) system for producing monthly status reports. 

What I loved most was Fluor's amazing, award-winning knowledge management system called Knowledge OnLine (KOL). Fluor is the only company I know of that has developed a true knowledge-sharing culture where everyone benefits by openly sharing what they know with others rather than jealously guarding their secrets. Their highly efficient online KM system makes it easy to do.

Fluor is very advanced in how human beings are treated. Because the company does international business, management is sensitive to cultural differences to the degree of proving prayer rooms for Muslims in all of their facilities. When managers have to do staffing reductions due to financial challenges, they let people know their jobs are going to end several weeks in advance. That in itself makes Fluor different and better than all the other companies!

12 hour days, 7 days a week, working with the international workforce in hostile areas, training employees Security Awareness complete with actions to take during certain scenarios, diversity in tasks from Badging and Biometrics to Loss Prevention and Incident investigation, and stressors of working in a combat zone as a contractor vice remaining a Soldier.  I have learned great improvements in understanding a viewpoint of construction safety and taken formal safety classes to improve my capabilities to protect the employees, and corporate version of management added to my military understanding of leadership.  I learn from my employers, peers and subordinates different manners to accomplish a task and that others know as much, if not more, than I do on a given subject.  The most challenging aspect of the job is trying to determine what the enemy will do next to harm our employees and how the Reduction In Force will effect the employees that remain on the job.  The absolutely most enjoyable aspect of the job is being challenged in a variety of ways to push myself beyond my realized potential to a newer version of myself with new knowledge, skills and abilities as opposed to doing the same tasks every day the same.  I live to be challenged and have a lot to offer beyond the position I am being being considered for hired.  I am currently enrolled in HAZWOPER 24 and taking SIx Sigma Green Belt training with Lean management.
