Cons
ASR International (Web-Site makes em sound like General Dynamics) 22 /36 Month Employee Review The following is NOT slanderous merely factual review. During recruitment you will be promised an annual pay increase. After 36 to 24 months of solid performance zero pay increases. Corporate Communications: Non-exsistent. Need to speak with anyone in corporate? HR? Payroll? IT? All Calls are thoroughly screened requesting intent/purpose for calling, information given on “a-need-to-know” basis. Accrued PTO & Vacation time is intentionally hidden from view on ADP payroll…wonder why that is? Can you guess? Give a call they will verbally tell you what you have. If transferred to another project it will be without travel/subsistence /per diem/gas money or pay increase Or you can quit. PM’s have zero discretionary budgets. Need miscellaneous office supplies-paper-toner- 3 hole punch, staplers anything? All goes thru headquarters. Enjoy NAFVAC Non-Compliancy Letters of Concern? There are plenty of those. Care to mis-lead or outright lie to ROICC/NAFVAC that’s “SOP”. Laptops: Issued 30 to 40 days after on boarding, no carrying cases, external keyboards/mouse bring your own, multi-tasking documentation? Need monitors you’ll get them in a month or two. Some gave up and bought their own. IT support is random at best. Phones: iPhones no protective cases, Flip phones unable to be preloaded with project contacts (entries made w/multiple keystrokes one at a time very painful) Plan on using your own w/o a stipend Field Vehicles: Arrived with evidence of having been through a tropical storm, Engine compartments & interiors literally coated with sand. 2004 Vehicles rusted so badly that during an ASR VIP site field visit front end of step rail fell off in transit to job site and had to be twisted off in order to proceed, all observed by ROICC Command. Need oil changes-lube / wiper blades for field vehicles? Good luck. Need to wash field vehicles? that’s on you. Need repairs? Batteries? Ball joints? Will only repair once you make it a project safety issue. GO fish. Required clearances: Need T1/T3 security processing for base access? Completely incompetent. Some employees went an entire year before ASR “Gained” them. Local LCSE Field Management: Does their best to take care of co-workers. If all this sounds good, then ASR International is the place for you!
