Katmai Government Services

They had me filling a role for a government contract. They misrepresented the work, the environment, the pay. My immediate manager made it it clear my success was not his priority and wouldn't or couldn't take basic measures to insure I had access to basic things I needed to do my job.

There were many issues like this but one stuck out. I did not have access to get into the room that was the only room I could work in. I needed an escort to go to my desk. I was not allowed to move the computer to another room because I wasn't allowed to unplug the network cable. I wasn't able to do the work in another work because of the nature of Secure and Classified data. My manager told me many times this would be fixed soon and each promise date passed by. Finally, to cap it off the person that was escorting had their hours shortened to 10 hours per week, when I was told something else would happen. There were no sensible backups in place.

Now imagine this nonsense but about every issue. including misrepresenting to me about what I would be doing how I would be paid and several other issues.

This is not the most unprofessional company I have worked with, but it is in the top 2.

Morning shift stated at 5:30 am. 
I learn lot from my fellow colleagues, about things I did not have knowledge about.
Management was in my opinion selfish about scheduling the workforce and were more concern with their own conveniences of having all their weekends free with family, in a blatant disregard for the workforce family time.
Workplace culture was very good, due to the diversity of the ethnic groups.
Hardest part of the job was the early hours and lack of concern of employees working in a environment that require a vehicle to do the job safe and timely.
For me was working in the tower as an operator, along with the interaction with the military, along with learning how to use certain equipment. Also, the camaraderie that each of us were involved, with a high degree of friendship and caring of one another safety, wellbeing on the job as well as off the job. My colleagues concern about our family spiritual, emotional, and our financial wellbeing in every aspect.

Katmai is not a company that cares for their employees. The pay is not too good. It pay benefits someone who is single or someone who collects a retirement. The ability to promote comes once in a great while. Favoritism plays a big part in getting promoted. Most employees have different job titles in order for Katmai to justify the part time employees getting paid less than the full time employees. The benefits were very high priced and not too affordable. At one point employees were not allowed to work more than 28 hours a week unless that employee took the company benefits. They also made every employee participate in the company 401k plan regardless of weather or not they wanted or could afford to. It took lawsuits to put a stop to that but the employees could not cash out their 401k unless they left the job. Overall, I would not recommend working for this company at all. The company doesn’t value their employees. 

Katmai, back in December, took over our contract from a great employer. Since their reception, not only has employee turnover increased, but general moral has decreased as well. First, Katmai, in an attempt to "save money" began paying employees hourly vice salary. Then attempted to limit employee hours in order to bypass paying overtime. This is not all together crazy, but the contract they took over services the Marine Corps, which has no start and end time. Additionally, all training, 401k contributions, and affordable health benefits were suspended. Furthermore, not a single corporate representitive have made any attempts to visit our site, nor are we allowed to contact HR directly. This has to be the most shady company to work for. Some of you reading this may think this is just one disgruntled employee, but I assure you that many reviews, like this one, have been submitted.

not even hours for new people. Most workers brings own tools for work projects. Promotion and raises are limited, only full time positions get pay raises and 40 hours. pay raises only come up with available positions, positions very limited. trucks are about 30 years or older, always breaking down. $4 dollars of the salary has to go to benefits or all to 401k!. no running water at work sight. no flushing toilets. part timers can only work 28 hours, due to health insurance reasons, even if your retired and have tri-care. most equipment is old, run down, or cheap. 30 minute lunches( contrary to the handbook saying 60 minutes).  to much finger pointing between shifts. have to hand pull weeds on target movers, instead of calling a spray company to spray it down( lots and lots of weed and grass pulling) . absolutely no overtime, just an unofficial comp-time.

Posting here as a former Katmai Corp (Live Training Division) PTOC Employee [2012-2014]:

Thus far, unable to get any response from HR staffers or PMs at Katmai Govt Svcs or Katmai Health Svcs to my several requests for basic details about posted openings for Special Skilled Role-players to support execution of contracts for training support services to US Army customers at Fort Polk, LA or Fort Irwin, CA. 

** Even the usually-responsive and very-helpful staffer at the KGS office in Florida has apparently disappeared and does not respond 

** This corporate silence or disregard is a mystifying and concern-causing situation.  ** Today is Wednesday, 24 July 2019.

Typically work days consist of maintenance of target equipment and range beautification. while working for Katmai I learned a great deal about computers, electrical maintenance, solar panels ,batteries and lawn equipment.Corporate management is unresponsive to worker needs and tries to nickel and dime employee compensation. Promotion boards are a sham as the person getting the job is predetermined and the board is used to give it a veneer of legitimacy. The hardest part of the job is dealing with all the different agendas of the people you work with, this results in a culture where its common practice to undermine other shifts and most times this behavior is rewarded instead of stopped. The most enjoyable part of the job is helping the military with their training.

Routinely have to do a 9 - 11 hour day 5 days a week, with additional hours required nights to accomplish range support operations.  
Have been employed in this position for 3 years 8 months, and am now paid less in yearly salary than 2 full time position subordinates.
The full time work force has been cut by 25% and part time employees are limited to 28 hours per week despite the requirement to conduct range support operations 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Daily scheduling of part time employees is limited to a mandated maximum number per day as required for live fire activities only.  Required maintenance cannot be conducted efficiently due to this restriction in having an adequate work force available to perform these tasks.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Hostile work environments. No direction. Profits before people. Severely low pay fury expecting high performance college level duties. RUN AWAY from this horrible company. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Low pay and lack of guidance. They do not care about their employees, no room for growth and no pay raises 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Hostile. Negative reinforcement, no employee protections or leadership of any kind 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Lacking direction. Working in filthy conditions with equipment and sites constantly inoperable for months at a time

This company took over our contract a few years back and in doing so promptly made everyone's life onsite miserable.  The trucks were old rust buckets that they either stole or borrowed from another site.  They decreased everyone's pay and decided that there would be no overtime, even the site manager lost a couple dollars.  There was a great amount of undue tension when they brought on another contract because the workers on that contract were being paid more and treated better.   Long hours, losing a bit of salary to pay for their ridiculously expensive health care. And a 401k that was shoved in my face, made it easier to move on to another company that treats employees better.
