What is the best part of working at the company?
Safe and friendly work environment. Ability to move up quickly if you have good work ethics and the drive to move up in ranks. If you have the ability to get along with others in a close environment and be away from home you will enjoy working with  this company. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
If you are working in the travel work, it's the getting used to long hours for days on end. My shift was two weeks on two weeks off, once I got used to it I liked it. If something was happening at home though it sometimes became stressful. Working overtime ( extra days) doesn't seem bad but unless you are used to it that is stressful. Sometimes the not much alone time can get to you also. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
I worked in the man-camps on the North Slope of Alaska. It can be a culture shock. NANA is a native corporation and this is Alaska so you have to be patient you will have a lot of interesting things to learn as far as culture goes. It is like a different country in Alaska than living in the lower 48 states. The work environment for Man-camps is living in a dorm. You get 3 meals a day and snacks 24/7. You work and live with a lot of people in close quarters. They all of recreation courts, walking tracks and rec rooms to relax in. Always safety first on everything, very safe environment. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
12 hours a day. Commissary clerk ran the commissary, took care of inventory. Ordering, stocking cleaning commissary daily. If slow times in the afternoon I helped with laundry,  housekeeping or helping other commissaries with anything they might need.

While the schedule was flexible (somewhat), I found my days scheduled to work required at least one weekend day, which is difficult to manage when one relies on public transportation. The working hours were enough to pay my rent, but too often someone would call out unexpectedly and I was forced to come in and cover on my own days off. Staff were friendly for the most part, but some constantly sneered down their nose at me for being big/white in an AK Native corporation. There was some favoritism, as one employee constantly shirked their duties while the rest of us had to pick up the slack almost all the time. A typical workday consists of constant walking/moving and cleaning, which is understandable, but it can be quite draining on slow days when there is little left to do.
On the plus side, I learned more about commercial cleaning standards and the cleaners themselves. I was taught how to use the floor machines, which was nice to use on casual days. A pro I had while working with NANA was that I was not required to work with a team/partner, which was refreshing when you spend most of your day interacting with customers/patients to some extent. The hardest part of the job to deal with was that, when life got busy and threw 20 curveballs in your face on the worst day possible, you're still expected to put them on the back burner for the job, regardless of how they affect you.

If management at the camps was able to be more involved and to listen to their workers it would be a better place to work.  Some of the things that can't be over looked is when you have a heavy amount of double standards or hypocritical behavior (like having job duties that are not universal in terms of standards or expectations.)  Then again, my person experiences are different than others.  

You can be able to set goals and achieve them there, they do care about their safety culture a lot and really go out of their way to make sure workers stay safe on the job.  You have great job security, you get to meet all kinds of people from around the country and sometimes the globe and really learn a lot from other people's life experiences.  You travel to go to work, that is always cool.  You are able to learn a different variety of skills depending on who and where you work with/for.


For any one person that knows how to put your nose to the grindstone in life, this will be no challenge for them.  Regardless of experience.

Most people that that you meet, work for or work with are generally good.

Higher end Management in the Company is Excellent.  
Management at Remote Camps should be inspected/regulated more. When middle management is not present, things seem to get shaky.

I personally would have loved to stay if some things would have been different.

This review is actually for Ikun, LLC who is a part of Nana.
 Never tell your employees that they make too much money based of what title they have you as when you know your staff is greayly underpaid for the work that is actually being done.You are hired for a specific position, but are required to be a "team player" and do all jobs because they underbid on contracts and don't hire people to do the work. Must be with the company a year before you get vacation time. If you leave like I did before one year, you don't get any vacation pay you may have accrued They put too much on you with no back up Their are no raises and no training classes to expand knowledge to broaden your opportunity at the company Advice to Senior Management. Don't underbid on contracts so you can't hire enough people to do the mission.  Ikun will rewrite your job title so they can pay you as much as 20% less than what you were making doing the same job with the previous company who lost the contract. Even though you give a two week notice prior to leaving, they have major issue with you leaving early on your last workday due to their lack of planning.This are CONs by the way.

I was a laborer working alongside carpenters starting at 7 a.m. and working till 5 p.m. up to 6 days a week. Starting the day we would do a group meeting followed by stretching and a safety assessment of the hazards of our specific job that day. We built the man camps in an assembly line order. I was among the crew of 3 individuals who built the floors; laid out the wood members, sheeted and insulated them. Also installing plumbing pipes and applied either carpet or vinyl. Then we would move them on to the next crew and start on another floor. 
         Periodically we would be required to work as a team to move the floors with the use of air bearings casters. Mostly it was rewarding to work with my hands to put forth my effort and skill to produce a quality product alongside my co-workers. I was just two hands among many to get the job completed.  
         Management informed us daily of any new changes or issues that had arisen. Safety was apart of the work culture, alongside quality work in an efficient manner.
         The part that I had trouble with the most was that the job didn't last very long. The rewarding part of it was though is that I was able to learn some new skills in the field of carpentry.

Low pay, your coworkers gossip and pry into your business. Some leads act like they're management and over step boundaries. 

I've experienced verbal abuse multiple times to not only myself, but other coworkers as well. I've seen leads lie about things to try to make it seem like they're right. There's also an inside joke about the high turn over rate which makes management look bad. I've also seen management hire so there's lots of bias. 

Problem solving is poor I don't feel that management tries to be part of the team and even tries to foster a respectable work environment. HR tries to force you to deal with management which I get but it also complicates things when who you go to just leaves it up to the employees and makes threatening comments. 

Wage is low we're probably the lowest paid workers at the place I work. 

It's stressful because I feel like the people I work with aren't very good at problem solving, communication or just plainly treating others with just basic manners.

The two jobs I had at the ANMC cafeteria and the PH cafeteria for this company had ups and downs. The pay for the positions was okay for entry level when I was first hired, but never increased, and so is now almost unlivable, especially given their hourly budget obsession. The turnover rate was terrible, there were never enough budgeted hours for what management expected to be done in a day. For anything above an entry level position, there was so much extra work and tasks expected that I witnessed multiple people go through work related breakdowns. Management would continually offer raises and promotions, and then never follow through on those promises, instead cutting hours, and adding responsibilities.

As A job it was actually a great position. Remote housekeeper on the north slope. You get used to working 14 hour shifts for 2-3 weeks straight then having 2 weeks off. you save a lot of money that way. The only issues I had was how cutthroat my coworkers were and when I was when I hurt myself and got put on light duty I lost my overtime pay, and had to stay off the slop and commute to anchorage every day for only 8 hours for 12.50 hr pay., I ended up having to pay to go to work. my checking account buffer, my savings EVERYTHING got depleted Quick. and when I finally went back up to the slope, they asked me if I wanted reasonable accommodations. to keep my job and just make everything simpler i said no. well I should have said yes cause I was fired on the spot as soon as I replied no to reasonable accommodations., though I am re-hirable immediately under a different contract
