Virginia Beach, VA

Current Employee – been working at AMSEC

Pros- Good growth potential for motivated employees
- Direct management supportive
- Good 401K and other benefits
- Fun atmosphere

Cons- Senior Management only talk to you when doing something wrong; otherwise barely know your name
- Promotions to supervisory positions made with no regard for the individual's ability to lead and motivate supportive staff
- Good ol' boy network
- Contracts department seems to operate with the "react" instead of "proact" mentality
- Lack of communication from upper management = rumor/gossip galore

Advice to Senior ManagementStop functioning as though you are constantly putting out fires. People were jumping ship left and right because of what they felt might be coming because there is lack of communication. At least consider the person's ability to supervise and lead others when promoting within. Say hi to and talk to your employees. The (seemingly) small things really mean a lot...and even if you're only concerned with the bottom line, this will net you more profit in the end.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

San Diego, CA

Current Employee – been working at AMSEC

ProsThe company has a small business feel, where every single employee is treated like family by management and fellow employee. Being a military reserveist makes some forms of full time employment difficult, but this company takes great care of me and pride in my service.

ConsI don't care for online timesheets.

Advice to Senior ManagementKeep everything the way it has been going. I'm very proud to work for this company, and brag to my friends about how wonderful this job is.
