This company is very large and opportunities are available if you want. My experience with MSA has been very positive. I have had two managers that I would work for anytime. I found them to be very responsive and caring about their employees. I don’t think that is very common anymore unfortunately. If you ever get the chance to work for MSA, now known as HMIS, make every effort to get on board. You won’t regret it!

Great work life balance with 4/10 work schedule, flexible kind management, superb coworkers.  This has been my favorite place to work in my entire life.

However, the trade off is little to no advances and minimal pay increases (maybe 1% a year if we are lucky).

The type of work is challenging and interesting.  Each day seems to be different and I never know what may happen.   There can be a lot of fire drills and chaos at times, but I enjoy that because it keeps things changing.

A lot of projects running concurrently. Great team, great management. There is a lot to learn if you are new to Hanford. That, along with learning the full scope of your duties, fills the workday with a lot of learning. Because of all of the legacy documents and facilities, a lot of the knowledge tends to be within the employees and not so easily discoverable but overall a great experience.

Opportunities were abundant to grow and learn because it was a new department with many fresh ideas and new tools. Most of people worked really hard to build things from the ground up and it was fun.  However, roles and responsibilities were never really clearly defined. It seems the "old culture" ingrained management team wasn't prepared or equipped to handle the growth and the many different personalities of the new team members.

Overall my time at MSA has been good. The company is going and being replaced by a new subcontractor. The work-life balance here is great, it is very easy to get time off if needed. Management is a mixed bag, that is why I did not give the company a five-star rating. There seems to be a lack of transparency coming from higher levels of management. 

Pay was very good. Highly micromanaged atmosphere to work. Not much goes on at Hanford and it's a federal worksite so a typical job that takes a day to complete on the outside will take three months to complete at Hanford. A lot of the people are negative but remain working out there for the good pay and benefits.

Projects at MSA tended to suffer as project managers were not technical and were only there to manage employees' hours. Since MSA's budgets were tied into annual allotments by congress and DoE, future planning became difficult and was a perpetual waiting game.

Working at MSA allowed me to gain professional work experience and to make good money during breaks from college in the summers and winters. Skills learned included the ability to work among professionals in a team setting as well as a lot of individual work in Microsoft Excel.

Dont waste your time. It will not be appreciated especially by management. Time is better spent somewhere else as mangers are not held accountable for anything but you cant send out an email with a misspelled word or have an "i" missing in a word
