The-Oryza-Group,-LLC

Position entailed interfacing with government employees and US Army personnel on a daily basis. Provided all realms of assistance related to maintenance and supply functions and operations; field phone calls, setup and attend meetings, improve upon curriculum for courses taught, mentor and train assigned personnel, research and develop new and evolving technologies related to the logistics fields, provide logistics assessments for units to enhance their operations. 

The main areas of learning involved relating to all levels of professional career fields, patience and understanding in dealing with diverse backgrounds, how to adapt to and adjust to the various personalities and attitudes involved in performing the job functions, and learning about the various particulars involved in contractual obligations and expectations.

Had complete control over the management aspect of the operation. However, communicated and collaborated my efforts through all channels of the vertical and horizontal structures. Management challenges involved the varying opinions and expectations of multiple departments and people.

Co-workers were all former military counter-parts. For the most part, there was no issues, however the obstacles that had to be overcome were in regards to views and subjective materials related to services and course materials, but was easily overcome by means of discussion and working through issues; they were reliable and could be counted on to cross-over into one another's job functions if required.

Perhaps the most difficult part of the job was satisfying the top level commanders and top level civilian government executives. Each had their own theories and understandings of what my team provided, but was often misconstrued, but was able to overcome these challenges through face-to-face interactions and reasoning.

The most enjoyable part of the position was the interactions between all persons. Because most had a lot of past experiences in common, we were able to relate on many levels due to these experiences and events, which in turn made the job both enjoyable and interesting because of the ability to relate on multiple levels. Furthermore, the availability of having all the conveniences of facilities and services at our disposal made the position even more attractive.

Despite what others have said, this is a great place to work, you just have to follow the rules. Which makes sense, right? I have never ran into any issues with this company and enjoy going into work. Yes, the work itself can be repetitive but you know what you will be doing day in and day out, no surprises. The people are great to work with as well as the supervisors. Management tend to keep to themselves more but thats not really a bad thing either. I have a child and have never has issues taking time off or temporarily changing my schedule if needed. As long as you have the time needed, there is no issue. There is only ever a issue if, you have no time, take time off too frequently or time off becomes unannounced to often. Which, should be the same everywhere else. The pay is excellent for what is done and we have availability to healthcare, dental care, vision, 401K, 401A, etc. There is also many options to move onto a different position if needed/wanted. Such as, HR, fileroom, data entry, managment, and even the chance to work for USCIS and further your career even more. I highly recommend this job to anyone. You just have to follow the rules(like anywhere else) and you will enjoy this job.

A contract that shouldn't exist. 

Worked here for 4 years and feel like it was all a waste of my time. Pay is okay so you get stuck but theres no real advancement in Oryza at the VSC and the management is horrible. All of the ASM's are a joke.

Supervisor positions are rotating doors for people who go federal and the ones that get stuck are basically useless or people who really shouldn't be supervisors .

 Management enforces petty rules because they have no real control due to the union and most employees are extremely entitled and lazily bad at their job because there are no standards.

Human resources is completely incompetent. Never felt with people who are so bad at their jobs. They would blame the payroll company or the insurance company even if it was entirely their fault they messed up even as they act like your best friend... worthless


If your a middle aged woman with a husband who has a good job and good benefits and you want to yell your friends and family you "found a job"  this might be a good job for you...
Otherwise stay away because the contract in st albans is basically a scam.

While the job is pretty cut throat and you are not guaranteed a specific length of time there, while you are there it is fun and you get great pay. The pay is high because you get no benefits. I do wish that they would guarantee you at least 6 months once you make final cuts.

I was ageneral clerk at a federal building, dealt with a lot of paperwork. The job was easy, but very repetitive, which could make some go crazy. It was a temp job, but they don't give you an exact timeframe of work and do not give you a prior notice of being let go. They tell you the day of. I loved working for The Department of Homeland Security, but I did not like the way The Oryza Group treated and payed their contractors. They pay an extra $4/hr on top of your hourly rate for not giving benefits, but do not include the extra $4/hr for overtime, which sucked.

VP of accounts, HR and PM one the contract I was one are whiny, sniveling babies. Instead of notifying me of what I had done, they decided to replace me and give me 4 days notice. When I tried to get my accrued vacation from the company, I was denied because I didn't give a 2 week notice. Do not to business with them because they lie to the govt about the people they hire, NAMELY not hiring qualified people in accordance with the rules of the contract. Distrustful and dishonest and lack integrity.

A typical day of work was extremely busy, allowing me to become more precise at an accelerated pace.  The team managers were very skilled in leading their teams for maximum productivity.  My co-workers were all excellent team players jumping in to help others when necessary.  The most difficult part of this job was the long hours of mandatory overtime needed to to assure tasks were completed on time.  The most enjoyable part was completing tasks above the expectations.

The Oryza Group is a government contractor. With that being said, one is venerable to the government contract system and job security can be a little terrifying. Overall, a really good company that cares for its employees. Management will let the employees manage themselves in that there is not a lot of micromanagement going on. They try to take care of their remote employees as best as they can. This company will not will a contract and then forget about the employees, they truly care.

Great easy job but man do they screw you over and then don't bat a eye. Was told to expect 10 hour work days for three months then in week 2 whole temp group got cut to 28 hours a week. Then we got cut even more the week after. Took 4 weeks of background checks to get the job. If you take this job they can screw you over for nothing. Got to love the job when they give you 2 hours a day when they promised 10.

This place has a very negative atmosphere. They false advertise that they are a family oriented company. If you have an emergency or need to change work hours temporarily, it's really hard to get them to work with you. This place pays well but the money isn't worth it when you are underappreciated. I would only work at this place if I didn't have a family.
