Sierra Lobo

I am responsible for many tasks so my days are usually very busy; typically not lacking for things to do.   My job provides a wide variety of tasks/projects so I have learned how to prioritize.  I've also learned how to jump from one task to another in a moment's notice without letting it jeopardize task currently at hand.  I work on many different levels so I interact with top level management, government management/personnel, engineers, technicians and vendors.  I am very fortunate as I work with a great team of people who are easy to communicate with, supportive and always willing to help if needed.  Everyone works well together which makes for a great work environment.  The most difficult part of my job is working with software systems that aren't always the most effective or efficient.  The uncertainty of knowing whether one's job is going to continue once a contract period is over is a difficult factor.  However, my direct manager provides great support.

Performs high level office administration, coordinating and managing administrative office procedures involving, business development, and contracts support, makes independent observation and move to action to resolve any issues that affect the office. Assists senior staff with scheduling, expense reporting, prepares correspondence, and handles any issues that involve logistics of the office. Worked closely with the senior corporate executives, consultants, as well as visiting management teams. Assist with contracts, teaming agreements, presentation, develops and maintains SharePoint contacts list and documentation.

The experience with Sierra Lobo has been interesting. Our team was forced into this company with a contact change (same job, different signature on paycheck). First off, it's rare that we see anyone from the main office, which doesn't bother me at all, but it seems like the company makes internal changes on a whim. The insurance is relatively expensive, but decent. The pay is good. The vacation policy is absolutely terrible - we were changed from accrual based to cash out annually and you need to be with the company for 9 years to increase your vacation balance by one week. HR responds quickly to emails. As with all contracts, YMMV. 

Worked alongside senior management conducting office administration with the logistics of the business.  Generally worked with little or no supervision in decision making of the office.  Interacted with employees in other locations who were on the contract and consultants to determine travel, expenses, meeting preparation, and general information.  Arrange interviews for new employees with company information packets. Performed all duties as requested to make the office run smoothly.

Great place to work once the new owners took over.  Employees were treated with respect and their ideas and opinions were heard and considered.
Co-workers were quickly weeded out if they could not comply with new owner requirements.
Terminating employees that could not comply with new owner requirements was difficult.
Having new owners and the vision they presented was very enjoyable.

Day starts with group meeting, semi-informal yet productive and sometimes entertaining.
Culture is typically friendly. 
Management was non stressful so long as you focused on your work.
Hardest part of the job-not so hard-procuring the material.
Enjoyable part-making fixtures and installing-should you enjoy using your hands.
The facility could be modernized or better maintained. The housecleaning was lacking.

I have worked for Sierra Lobo twice, and loved them both times. Wish I was still with them but my contract ended and I had to go somewhere else. SL Management is fantastic and cares about your needs. They are very helpful and they take the time to talk to you. I learned a lot working for them. Also, I had 3 raises in just two years! I highly recommend Sierra Lobo for numerous reasons.

Sierra Lobo was the contractor at NASA GRC and Plum Brook.  They have merged with HX5 and kept all the same management and workers.  Pace of work is very slow.  Bonuses are small and they have not given a raise to there technicians for 10 YEARS.  Yes 10 YEARS.  Management and Engineering get yearly raises but not mechanical or electrical techs.

Sierra Lobo is a company who seems to care about their employee's overall health and well being. They put family at the front and are very willing to help out where they can.  They also help out their Military members anytime they are called to duty.

There's tons of challenging work to do and work is constant, however the process is gendered by outside factors usually. Most of the time results in unsatisfactory work. Pay is below average but tons of training opportunities. Benefits are subpar as well, but managers are flexible with time off. Good people that you work with . Overall an average experience.
