I did sub-contract work for them in Idaho Falls......didn't like them. They treated their contractors pretty badly, at least they did us. Didn't pay well, no per diem, no bennies. I was glad to change.

We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

Pretty much the same across most big EPCM companies. Try to get on as staff, I hear internally they have pretty decent bennies.Originally Posted by CYCLE_MONKEY

I don't know anyone who's still there, but I enjoyed my time... I wouldn't hesitate to work for them again...
I have heard similar stories about how CH (Well, Kaiser Hill actually) treated contractors at Rocky Flats. It's set up like that in the contracts. Creates a bad environment for the workers when the management has incentives to cut staff and complete early.
Do not put off living the life you dream of. Next year may never come. If we are always waiting for something to change...
Retirement, the kids to leave home, the weather or the economy, that's not living. That's waiting!
Waiting will only leaves us with unrealized dreams and empty wishes.
Contractors do seem to get the short end of the stick. Raytheon treated me just fine when I started with the Program as a contractor. It was a 2month contract that lasted 8 months, before they pulled me in full time.
Now that the Raytheon contact is ending and Lockheed taking over, it's going to get really bad fast. Lockheed low bid the contract thinking they would only have to do the sustaining work and outsource any projects. Which means they cut my department from 6 people to 2. These two people will be sub-contractors with a 20% pay cut. People are running away from this in droves. Considering the type of work we do here that's allot of specialized knowledge walking out the door.
