A typical day started with reviewing in coming requests for information and researching databases and open sources of information, consolidating the data and forwarding it to the requestor and their unit.  In anticipation of requests from others this data was forwarded for informational purposes to other units.  My co workers were spread throughout the U.S. and we provided mutual support on issues, e.g., explosive device training and tactics, jungle warfare tactics.  I supported all of the Army units in Hawaii and on an as required basis the Marines getting ready to deploy.  The biggest challenge was managing massive amounts of data and providing the te required information to the requestor and ensuring that he was not inundated with data.  The most enjoyable part of the job was coordinating with my fellow analysts at other units and then working with soldiers.

A typical day at work involved preparing lessons, communicating with students, and providing feedback on assignments. I learned the importance of organization, flexibility, and effective online communication. Management was professional and supportive, and the workplace culture promoted respect and collaboration. The hardest part of the job was balancing multiple responsibilities, while the most enjoyable part was helping students develop their language skills and confidence.

Very poor supervisor in place.  You are promised thorough and ongoing training that is essential especially for new folks coming in and that does not happen.  The government individual that is tasked with certain aspects of training will repeatedly promise and schedule a group only to repeatedly cancel with every excuse under the sun and it never happens.  Bottom line:  you are completely set up for failure and you know it's bad when co-workers and folks in higher positions of authority tell you that shortly after you walk in the door.  You will be let go and they refuse to give you a reason, instead lie to you and tell you they aren't given a reason while not being able to look you in the face.  Do yourself a favor, don't put yourself through it and keep moving on.

Lots of responsibilities but challenging and rewarding work. Many long meetings due to working remote but you needed to have them to get things accomplished.  Working with internal and government teams were frustrating at times because on both sides people were stretched thin.  This made it difficult to get information out of specific people because they were busy all the time and gave rushed answers or were unprepared.  Lots of back and forth.

Hiring was very quick, a telephone interview was all that was done before receiving an offer letter. Though you must hold an active clearance. Like anywhere you're dealing with all types of people, personalities and ranks, however from my experience most people's moods seemed miserable and negative. People were ready to go home as soon as they'd come in. Most of the military management was rude, expected very high standards, yet didn't uphold those same standards. Pay is dependent on your position, but I'd say for the area it's great. It's a fast paced business office, with a hefty work load. It would have been better if the moral was positive.

They are not worried about the quality of professionals that they hire, they only want the Government money.  The Manager is a phony woman, without character, who does not have professionalism.  If you are a qualified professional, you will not be there for a long time, because they only want ignorant people without personalites that they can manipulate.  The days that the school is closed because of bad weather, they do not pay the employees,  even though the money is already in their account.  They will not stay there for a long time, because the Army is already seeing the chaos that they are bringing to  the language school.

The organization suffers from significant shortcomings in its management practices, characterized by inefficiency, lack of direction, and inadequate support for employees. This poor management style often leads to frustration and dissatisfaction among staff members, resulting in decreased morale and productivity.

Furthermore, the company offers below-market salaries, which fail to adequately compensate employees for their skills, expertise, and contributions. This can lead to financial strain and dissatisfaction among workers, impacting their overall job satisfaction and commitment to the organization.

Program Manager at Ft. Bragg never instructed and did not know any foreign language.  She never offered positive reinforcement and only found fault. She was rude and aggressive and created a hostile work environment.  If she could, she would find a way to retaliate aganist an applicant of staff member.
