Valkyrie Enterprises

As an Engineering Technician your time is split between the labor intensive aspects of installing systems onboard Navy vessels and classrooms and the technical aspects of building connectors and troubleshooting problems.  This is a contract company that does it's best to keep all employees on full-time status.  In between contracts they will usually have employees help out in the warehouse.  You must be willing to travel as many of the contracts require work out of state.  The travel aspect is great, if you want the opportunity to visit new places or just get out of town, but its also difficult if you have a family and children in school.
I would recommend this job to anyone that is willing to work hard, but be compensated fairly for the work.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Awesome company !  I was employed between 2011 and 2016.  Management is one of the top 5 in Hampton Roads area.  Great benefits and caring staff.  Friends are easy to come by in their “family environment “.  Don’t hesitate to apply.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Not sure I had any.  Easy to work in environment.  Put you best foot forward and it will pay off for you.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Awesome!  I always looked forward to the cook-outs and parties

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Busy and structured.  You knew ahead of time what your assignments were

There are many good reasons to seek out contract employment as part of your search for work. Yet most job seekers only focus on postings that are “permanent” (that is, where you are brought on as a regular employee, and your income taxes and pension plan contributions are deducted from your paycheck directly by the employer). This means that they are missing out on the numerous opportunities presented by contract positions.

Valkyrie Enterprises is an outstanding place to work, offering a strong balance of meaningful mission-focused work and genuine support for employees. Leadership is approachable and transparent, and there’s a clear commitment to professional growth, collaboration, and innovation. Teams work in a respectful, inclusive environment where ideas are valued and contributions truly matter. The company provides solid benefits, encourages work–life balance, and fosters a culture of accountability and trust. Overall, Valkyrie Enterprises is a company that invests in its people and takes pride in both its work and its workforce. Highly recommended as an employer.

This was the worst company I have ever worked for.  Upper Management has no clue how to work with people and only care about padding their own pockets and not the actual workers.  Upper management has their favorites (the ones that do what they tell them to do even if it is unethical) and if you aren't one of them you don't stand a chance.

If you are looking for a company with flexible hours this may be the place to be if you are hired in the right department (this is the reason for the two stars).  The rules are different depending on who you work for.

In my time there, most of the employees were unhappy and constantly looking for jobs.  Very high turnover.

Great company due to great leadership.   Genuinely care and value their employees.  Not just another number.  Pay is competitive and employ stock option is a plus. I really enjoy my job and have turned down many other great opportunities because of my loyalty to this company for the way they have taken care of me especially during a challenging situation with a family member's health.  I intend to work her until i retire.  Great company to work for.  Highly recommended 

There is little to no structure. The jobs are underbid and there aren’t enough materials. There are too many bosses and not enough actual workers. The company keeps losing contracts because of mistakes. And they keep losing employees because they don’t pay enough. They don’t care much about leaving for personal reasons. But getting paid for it using your PTO is not an easy process. Overall they are an easy company to get your foot in the door but it’s not a business that’s going to last long and they don’t pay nearly enough compared to the competition or for the type of work they want done. 

Company grew fast and culture was not maintained. Pay is less than most unless you are one of the top heavy managers. Higher leadership is finally recognizing the poor leaders and resulting toxic culture. With continued changes, there is hope in seeing the original culture returned. Training and growth are lacking. 401k is better than most. Insurance is expensive. CEO and President really care but are surrounded by individuals only interested in self promotion. The ones who aren't are leading the positive changes. Lacking diversity in leadership. 

1. They threaten to fire you if you do not complete the training that they never provided. That is really odd. 

2. Valkyrie Enterprises is a glorified staffing company. All they can do is post pictures on social media attending events. 

3. They cant win the big one. Valkyrie has no prime contracts. They rely on bigger companies to keep their workforce employed.

4. Stay far away from this place as possible. They layoff and terminate. Its part of their culture.

Started out great, but after a few years and when new management came in, it went downhill. When it comes to raises, don't expect more than around 2%, unless you're in what some called "the good ol boys club", then it could be a lot more. It's very easy to have your supervisor be significantly less experienced than you are. I would not recommend the work environment, unless no other opportunities were available.
