Electrical Technician II Lead (Current Employee) – Camp Arifjan – September 5, 2018
Working for this company in Kuwait has been the worst contract I have ever been a part of. I have worked contracting for 15 years. Everyone has low morale. Salary quotes from recruiters are not accurate. You will be paid much lower than they offer you due to hours being cut if there is a sand storm or bad weather. You are paid for 12 hours a day but you are gone from home 16 hours a day minimum. They don't give you time to eat your meals but preach safety. Your job is always under threat by your management team and leaders. I would not recommend this place to work for anyone. There is a huge turnover rate.
Pros
coworkers mostly are cool
Cons
Not enough time to eat meals, Lowest pay on Kuwait base, treated like cattle, 12 hours pay for 16 hour days, constant threat, rules change daily, unqualified managers
Maintenance

Land Combat Electronic Systems Repairer (Current Employee) – Kuwait – July 6, 2018
The company i worked for was a subcontract which went by their own rules. Worked 12 hour days 6 days a week. One day paid off and the overtime rate is 1.25, not the regular 1.50. Was promised double time to work on a federal holiday and that fell through. Ended up giving up my day off to work a normal paid day on the 4th of July.
Dont Do it
AWRDS Analyst/LMP (Current Employee) – Kuwait – June 28, 2018
This is a company with management that are pretty much rejects (fired) from other companies in the past and have formed a "click" and look out for each other. The security of your job is threatened on a weekly basis by management, very little pay, promotions are not done by what you know but who you know. Moral of the team is down but the push for more is stressed by management.
Pros
Its a Job, opportunity to network with others
Cons
Pay for DFAC, kuwait is expensive, "Wasta" in the management
Good leadership was missing in this company

Working for URS an AECOM company
Electronics Technician/M1A2 Abrams Tank Mechanic (Former Employee) – Camp Arifjan, Kuwait – April 9, 2018
Frist off, my recruiter gave me the immpression that my base wage was much more than it was. She tried to lump in every little bit of time and "benefits" into the offer to inflate the numbers. Once I found that out, I continued to see this kind of lack of integrity and dishonesty for my short time with the company. The job was oversees, the host country work week was 6 days. Overtime was only time and a quarter. You weren't paid for all the time you were under the company's control. The company switched back and forth on host country and US policy which ever way benefited them. All the leadrrship and management had been in country for at a minimum of 8 yrs and they all keep each other in positions they had no business holding. Absolutely no work life balance. You were up and in a company shuttle between 5-5:30am and didn't return to your billeting until 8:30-9pm.Glad to be gone...
Pros

Supply Technician (Current Employee) – kuwait – October 19, 2017
Working for URS is the worse company I have ever worked for. Since I've been here my pay has been messed up. I had to contact Rock Island the company head quarters before my pay was corrected 2 months later. My contract 1 year contracted stated one thing but before my contract was over they has changed my Vacation, medical, and benefits without warning.
Pros
negative
Cons
none
Good Company
DFAC FOOD SERVICE LEAD (Former Employee) – Kuwait – June 29, 2016
I'd retire from this company. They held contract longer because if how well everything went so employees got more than originally thought when it came to job security. I took advantage and really appreciated my situation.
