Precise Systems

I worked as a Payroll Manager and my experience was far from positive. The job was overwhelming due to several factors, stemming from poor management and systemic issues within the team and organization.

The management style is highly micromanaging. There’s a constant need to seek approval for the smallest decisions, which slows down the workflow. This micromanagement, coupled with horrible overall management, creates a stressful work environment where you constantly feel scrutinized and undervalued.

The accounting team is severely understaffed, which means you're regularly putting in about 50 hours a week just to keep up. The workload is unsustainable, and there's no real support or effort from management to address this issue. 
Much of the work is manual, and very time consuming. 

A significant portion of your time is consumed by unscheduled meetings, leaving little to no time to focus on your actual work. The meetings are often unproductive, and you’re left trying to catch up on tasks during your personal time. 

Working most holidays is expected, which adds to the exhaustion and burnout. There’s little regard for work-life balance, and the constant demand to be available is draining. Unless significant changes are made to the management style, team structure, and processes, I would not recommend this position to anyone seeking a healthy and supportive work environment.

What a disappointment Precise Systems ended up being.  I was part of the Corporate Staff Accounting Team.  I was there for 9 years and my intent was to retire from there.  The first 6 years of my career I thoroughly enjoyed. However, the last 3 years were filled with toxic management, bully tactics, my way or the highway attitude, micromanaging, and a blatant disregard for work/life balance.

Due to excessive growth in a short period of time, my job ended up extremely overwhelming due to poor management and systemic issues within the team.  The  Manager created a stressful work environment where you constantly feel scrutinized and undervalued. My experience, if they can’t control you, they try to control the narrative about you.  They undermine your character behind closed doors. Frame your boundaries as you being difficult. Marginalize you so that others are forced to take their word, and not because you're wrong, it’s because  they see you as a threat.

Unless the Executive Staff opens their eyes and makes significant changes to this team, I would not recommend working for this company, in particular, the Accounting Team.

Was told by the Govt customer that my work output was lacking as told by my director. Tried to make better decisions with customer in the workplace but it was evident I was not wanted so communication was non-existent. After having a team lunch with both contractors and govt customer, I was told to come to the office to discuss some topics with HR rep. I was told I was being pulled from the program and put on zero hour status immediately. No warning, not able to talk to director as to reasoning and not able to return to office to gather belongings. If that is how you treat your employees just to please the govt customer to get funding then it's obvious all they care about is money and not people.

I have had the opportunity to  work at corporate and 2 other program offices within Precise. Im treated equal professionally and personally at all locations. In my opinion...Corporate employees aren’t treated “better” than others. I’ve never seen or heard that either. Precise is great about making sure everyone is treated fairly. They want you to be comfortable in your work environment and xcel at your career. HR is really good about that! You can also talk to HR if you do run into any issues. They’re good at helping resolve your concerns. I’ve worked for other contractors and Precise is the best place I’ve worked for...hands down.

It was a pleasure to work the contract Precise held, however management and leadership do not operate for the benefit of their team members in any capacity. Once something of issue is brought up you have to justify every bit of why. My work environment was unhealthy with my lead and after expressing that I was given an unrealistic ultimatum that lead to my termination. The head of HR made it clear it was not performance based but never gave a direct answer as to why. I am still grateful for the opportunity to work with them as they helped me provide to my community and should not be overlooked.

Friendly work environment with a people first atmosphere.  Co-workers go out of their way to assist you.  Rewarding and challenging work day building spreadsheets to track flight clearances to support Program Offices.  I learned about the acquisition, ECP and TD process.  Hardest part of the job is having patience working with the E-power database which can be slow and not easy to use at times.  I really enjoy assisting the program office meet their mission and support the fleet.

They never stand up for their employees and the pay is very low compared to other companies in the same industry.  They promise raises if you stick with them for a year and then never give them.  They are only out to make money for themselves.  They waste money on elaborate parties in the office that nobody outside the corporate office wants to attend.  They should give more pay and less partying!

While I was only at Precise Systems for a day (it was a micro-internship meant to introduce what working in Human Resources for the public sector was like), it seemed that one had to stay on top of everything in order to make or break it. Everyone was warm and welcoming, and readily answered any and all questions.

Note: at the time of the tour, the company was just expanding. They needed to hire new personnel, and move into a new part of the building, in a short amount of time. All during the holiday season.

Every GOVCON talks about their 'culture' but very few actually pull it off. Precise Systems is one who got it right. A plain-language, transparent, and common sense culture that puts PEOPLE first is what I've experienced in the past 4 years. 

With 20 years of exposure to the industry, I can say with confidence that Precise is number 1 in terms of employee treatment and responsiveness.   Our small, human issues are taken seriously by management and we're provided with a range of flexible solutions that don't impact work/life balance. 

As far as the Crane location goes, the job itself is not bad. However, the management needs work. They hire people to be supervisors from the outside over people who actually do the work, so the newly hired supervisors act like bullies. Then you have to deal with a rushed and pile-on workload that seems to grow every passing week. Rules and procedures and changed and made up at random. And pushed and rushed before you have time to learn.
