Lower your standards if you want to work here. - Utility Engineering Technician NAVFAC Employee Review

Organizational structure is weak. Commanding Officers are changed every two years, with three months in transition on both sides. Upper civilian managers require a strict adherence to a philosophy that requires employees to follow chain of command. Employees who follow laws, rules, regulations or communicate violations are labeled "Trouble Makers", and sometimes pigeon holed and assigned make work. Productivity (or an illusion of productivity) is placed above quality, and efficiency. Employees do not answer emails, hand written letters, or phone calls, and most assignments are whimsically applied. For example: I had worked on one project for two years and when the project was completed I was told: "Didn't I tell you that we decided not to do that project last year?" Assign dedicated band width to employees who work with data base, and block Facebook access, gaming, and stock trading sites.
