TRISTAR

As the manager for five different contracts across the US, I had daily contact with employes ensuring things were going well. I was the office manager for the Chesapeake office, which I located location and set up office areas and required office equipment, phone and internet. As office manager ensured office was well stocked, appointed someone as an assist when I was gone. Support a major client and interfaced with the others I had working the contract.

The hardest part of my job was being able to sell what I needed folr my folks. The most enjoyable part was be able to get what they needed, company credit cards, more pay for salary employees when they worked upwards to 80 hrs a week while on task.

Management was hard but fair, only wished I would could have advanced further.

Although I work for TSE, I directly support the NSWC Government offices.  Due to this work being based on contract award in 5 year increments, the job security is unstable.  I currently love what I am doing and have awesome co-workers.
The hardest part of my job is the 'waiting game' played with most Government agencies.  I like to keep busy and make things happen and waiting on others can become daunting, at times.
The most enjoyable part of my job is the satisfaction I receive when others are positively affected by improved processes I've assisted in implementing.

In my opinion the company was not run well. To many differentials on the same forms. 
My main Manager was an awesome person to work for. She stood behind her employees and was always willing to help. She was very patient and kind.
Most of the other employees were good people and honest hard working employees. 
Upper management, however, in my opinion forgot where they came from.

1- Worked numerous tasking,s in one day.
2- Many aspects of the supply side of Configuration Management.
3- Providing training of coworkers concerning Configuration 
4- Quiet
5- Working on several tasking,s at the same time.
6- The stress.

Horrible Place
No real advancement opportunity
Poor management
Poor treatment of employees
Poor pay
Bad benefits.
The don't care about your safety or well being.
Nothing is professional about this place.

The owner is one of the best people I've had the pleasure to work for. Unfortunately he has people that work for him that steer him in the wrong direction. Most of the management is in it for themselves, with the exception of a couple individuals. Great HR and good benefits.

There are no pay raises because you are paid based on Dept of Labor wage determinations.  Health insurance is overpriced and doesn't cover anything.  Between premiums and deductibles, you will be paying $24,000 out of pocket before the offered insurance starts to cover anything.

The company did all they could to work around the governments red tape, however, they do have a couple of employees that are sideways.  The chances of working with those employees are low for most people.

It was a place you could advance to different positions. They hired from within. I held 3 different positions while there through advancement.  The commoradity of the employees was great.  Everyone always worked as a team to get the job done!

Great place to work. Was hired as a temporary employee in hopes to get my foot in the door to continue to work for Westgate or Crane.
