The Tatitlek Corporation

As an Army veteran, the job itself was enjoyable. Operating and maintaining the ranges, working outside, interacting with soldiers. Unfortunately there is no room for advancement as the supervisors in place have been there for years, spanning across multiple different contractors, and they are not going anywhere. No regular raises. $17.25 was very good pay for El Paso, but without any chance for advancement or raises I had to leave the job when I got hit with child support after a divorce because I could no longer afford to keep the job. Driving out to McGregor Range or Dona Ana base camp in my own vehicle, on my own dime, was a huge expense... and the company does not help to offset the cost of having to drive so far to get to the job location every day.

Workplace culture was very divided. There are contractors and then government employees both doing the same jobs essentially - and most of the government employees seem to have bad attitudes toward the contractors. I didn't experience this because all the government guys were veterans and we got along great, but the vast majority of contractors (not all) are guys who worked their way up from unrelated labor positions and never served in the military. I got along with everyone, but there were some very clear issues with others.

Hardest part of the job was driving 40+ minutes one way at 5 in the morning every single day. Sometimes the units training schedules dictated that they would need 24 hour support from us for weeks at a time, so overtime would be authorized but we would also have to deal with some crazy shift schedules and changes. Sometimes we would work 6am to 2:30pm, 2pm to 10:30pm, etc. Sometimes 12 hour shifts. Sometimes they would need people to completely change their shift the next day to support a different range. It could be very hectic and frustrating.

We received a letter from the company telling us they were exempted for our health insurance falling well below federal guidelines. Thankfully I never had to use it. Had to pay out of pocket to have my wife and kids on the policy. Opted out of having them covered through my work insurance. Paid time off was 10 days for a full year, counted in hourly increments. Zero paid sick days. Government employees had full health care benefits, 30 days annual vacation days with paid sick days on top of that... and they got paid at least $3 more per hour to do the same exact work as the contractors. That part was not too cool.

Working as a PA Clerk at Tatitlek is a frustrating and unfair experience due to deep-rooted nepotism and favoritism. The company primarily hires family members, creating a toxic work environment where promotions and opportunities are based on personal relationships rather than merit. Management provides little to no support, and supervisors show clear bias toward those within their inner circle. Trainers fail to prepare employees, seemingly setting them up for failure properly. Workplace professionalism is severely lacking, with reports of management engaging in inappropriate relationships with staff. If you're not part of their clique, expect to be treated differently and unfairly.

A typical day at Tatitlek would be to report to the parking lot in town in your own vehicle and then proceed to load on to a bus with your backpack of equipment and lunch to go off to McGregor Range where we would unload and work with american soldiers dressed as Iraqui civilians in various scenarios in the desert. I learned a little about how the soldiers and imagined what they really encountered out on the field. Management was really good and provided their employees thier needs and comformaties. My co-workers were a band of about 500 people would were generally all good people.The hardest part about the job would be the negative weather elements that we had to endure. The most enjoyable part about the job would be sharing and spending time with all the different role players which is  what we were called or our job title

What is the best part of working at the company?
Working independently as well as the pay.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
I work for a security contract, so this will vary for most. This contract has a limit number of employees, and if someone cannot come into work, it needs to be covered by someone else. So overtime is necessary occasionally.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
I work for a security contract, so the enviroment and culture is going to vary for most. At the site I'm at, its an older crowd, but good enviroment overall.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I work for a security contract, so the typical day is going to vary for most. I guard a few different posts throughout the day, rotating with other guards every couple of hours.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Working here has been great,   Good environment. 


What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Not having enough work to do. Mostly because some of the administrative titles don't fit for contracts working on....lots of contractors are sitting in office where there's literally nothing to do 


What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Slow....not enough to do.   You'll get bored just sitting all day with limited assignments....your contract can be canceled.  They will help you with links to find another job or jobs open on their board 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Very slow...practically no work

I started this job with little to no training. I started when the company was in the process of changing policies so everything I was taught was outdated almost immediately. I had to constantly call and sometimes even stalk people to learn policies and how to use programs needed for my job. 
Then after a month I was let go because I was not "learning fast enough". I would only recommend this company to someone who plans to move to another company very quickly.
Within the first week I learned about a huge group fighting within the company making it impossible to talk to one person without the other finding out and assuming you were on the others "side".

They are constantly harrasing employees for every minimum detail.
You must have to be very submissive to not have issues and sometimes even the submissive ones have a hard time. 
1 minute late or 1 minute of overtime and they will sent you to the managers office for a chat.
-Is only 40 hours no more no less-
Besides that they want you to clean up restrooms and pull weeds out side when is nothing to do.
They constantly disturbing employees with stuff that has nothing to do with their job.

There will be days when they will call you to the supervisors office because somebody heard some one saying that you said.. 

My experience may differ from others as all positions have their differences. I can say however, that this position has been nothing short of fantastic. Management has been there when I need them 100% of the time and allows me to work idependently without intrusion. Benefits, though some not available until a year after employment, are great and allow you to rest easy knowing that even in your personal life, you are covered in most circumstances. I can say confidently that this is one of the best post-military positions I have held and look forward to the opportunities it presents to me in he future.

Busy most of the time with tracking soldiers movement, or sending them back home. 
What I learned on this company is to have great costumer service. 
I believe that management should get more training on how to treat their employees and should have more knowledge on human resources policies. 
The hardest part of the job is when a soldier is upset and does not understand the process on how long it takes for us to send them home. (rules and regulations).
The most enjoyable part of the job is when we see the soldiers come back to the United States from over seas.
