Pros

The company itself is really good, especially back in Moyock, but there is a disconnect between Moyock and Helmand Province. The project manager, site lead, ops manager are all about themselves. In fact it took HR from moyock to come down to look at the problems. It's a good ole boys network. The management is horrible actually in helmand province and they are not people oriented. The military also looks down upon the management making us all look bad, but again Academi itself back in the states is a good company, just sad people volunteer to go then get treated like 3rd country nationals.

Cons

Management is horrible. They treat the Armed guards as Trash.

Pros

If you are only motivated by money, then this place is for you. But, be prepared for backstabbing, literally decisions made without a hint of understanding of ground truth and program managers saying, "I'm the alpha male, no one else is the alpha male, there is only one alpha male and I'm it..." Incompetence is beyond comical to the point of unbelievable. When Jason DeYonker cares nothing more than the bottomline it is an indicator for the culture of the organization.

Cons

Organization is solely motivated by money, period! Nothing more. Zero growth opportunities as a contractor. Program manager routinely lies, yes lies and is known as a lier. throughout the company and the client ranks. That he was employed with his pathological background clearly shows Constellis Group is solely motivated by money. Disrespects people and is known to do so routinely. Is allowed to do so cause of the contract is more important than Veteran employees. Does not take are of Veteran employees/contractors. Is not Veteran friendly. You are expected to bend over backwards for the company to fill billeting needs but little to no appreciation is given in return. You are used as a number and nothing more. DO NOT be fooled by false advertising. Constellis Group is 100% NOT Veteran friendly. Is known to verbally abuse employees. Scheduler does not return phone calls or emails.
