well its nice to hear that your husband is happy with aecom, mine worked for them for 2 years and everyday he had to fight for justice. he’s the kind of guy who does his job and doesn’t put up with anything less. he had alot of problems with management taking the bad guys side…he got sick of aecom’s crap and went to work with another company…….if u can’t fix it just get out

Hey man, I saw you comment and I would like to give you a right answer for AECOM company. This company is the worst company in the World I have ever seen. First of all they do not treat the employees well. All they want is to cheat you. When you sign the contract you sign it for Billeting Specialist and you will work as a Laborer. it is not up to the company if you sign the contract for Billeting and work as a laborer. They just say you have to work as you are assigned by Supervisor. i am sorry to say but I have bad experiences with this company.Before you want to join this company think carefully.

You’re in the ‘final stages’ of working with this company, and you don’t know what they are paying?

Strange.

AECOM will promise you something so great, then after you had left your job, they will send you a contract that was way less than mentioned. Then once you are out in the danger zone, they will not pay you well, will short change you. Throw you for a loop. Will end your contract whenever they feel like it.

Hi there, I completely agree with you. We are an honest, man of word with integrity who truly believe in God. Would love to work with brothers in Christ, what better way to do business. Just like the bible says, be not equally yoke with unbelievers.

Hit me up with questions to see what we can do to help in making this happen.

Thank you!

I’m at the CRC in Bagram as I write this and am beyond disgusted with the Indians these idiots have hired.
No clearances and yet work on military vehicles.
There hygiene is awful.
Aecom is paying them a fraction of what they would have to pay an experienced American worker.
Sixty Minutes or some other News organization needs to expose this fiasco.

I work for AECOM in Afghanistan and can tell you I work 12.5 hours a day, 7 days a week with a half day off every 2 weeks. We are are only paid 11.5 hours a day because we take an hour lunch.

From what I have heard these company’s charge the government between 12 and 13 thousand per person.This is why aecom does there crc at camp atterbury which is a military camp.It is free for them.But as you can see they make up there underbidding with washers and any other part they can overcharge for.I would like to see them audited for there time charged.Every other company works 12hours seven days with aecom its only 11 hours but I bet they charge for 12.

Dont feel to bad there is some crumy contracts out there one that comes to mind is in doha(contractor) that contract states if you demob in your first 6months of your contract you pay for your ticket there and the return ticket and mobilization costs they also collect 1000 a month for this in advance the last 6 months of the contract is for you return ticket
just wonder if the goverment pays this anyway i think more of this should be disscussed

Just an update.My farther in law passed but to my surprise aecom still let me go to processing at camp atterbury.However the first day in camp my wife suffered a panic attack bad enough to be brought to the hospital.This led me to call the person in charge and tell them I needed to go home and the job wasn’t meant to be.She said she was flabbergasted because this will lead me to be unemployed.I asked how I will get home and the response was “you expect us to pay for your return” well luckily I lived in chicago which was only 250 miles so I rented a car to get home.I have to say that I am one of the lucky people who has a wife that makes good money as a nurse.It is a dam shame what this money gouging company pays and there benefits to go to work and live in that crap hole of a country.Risking life and limb and where you are required to pay your own workman comp.How the government lets company’s like this operate with out putting there leaders behind bars is beyond me.And by the way the time spent in crc training at camp atterbury is not paid.They must have some good lobbyist in government where the kick backs to the corrupt politicians are plenty full.I truly feel sorry for the people who dont have any choice but to accept a job with this greedy bastard of a company.One other fact is that if our economy was on its feet I dont think any of these company’s would be able to recruit class individuals.And its to bad because that would be what they deserve.I would like to invite as many people as possible to observe the daily veterans report that shows contracts awarded.How can the same company’s keep getting multi million contract an a daily basis.And if you read the outrages sums they are getting for the stupidest things it would make your blood boil.Case in point I read one just this month for a seven billion four hundred million contract for providing foreign speaking services.And you wonder why we are going down in flames.

I was just hired by aecom, all set to leave for crc training.Two days before I was to go I find out my farther in law will be going into hospice to await death.I emailed them telling of my situation but didn’t even get a reply.I even said I would pay the difference in the plane ticket.When my farther in law does kick it I will email the obituary and let you know if they are really that insensitive to there employees.

As a contractor with AECOM I am satisfied. They are a gov’t services contractor who bids as low as possible just like all the other ones and then does their best to deliver the contracted services at the price they bid. Mistakes are made…been at Dyncorp, KBR, ITT and Flour. All the same…depending on how tight they bid the contract depends on how ‘happy’ we are as contractors under that contract. Many times pricers are not experienced enough with operations and make really dumb cuts in the interest of winning and under the guise of saving gov’t money. Perfect example is the ITT bid on KBOSSS…what a mess, they way underbid and now will pay for it by having a hard time getting quality people to work for the pay.
All in all, depending on the contract, AECOM…pretty decent company. CSA…owned by AECOM…has had lots of problems with the CSSCK conract, but it grew from a tiny program (50m/yr i think) to HUGE (400m/yr or more) and they struggled to get things right throughout.
