could be better - Environmental Technician Ahtna Employee Review

The best part of the company is the people.

The con is the job is funded by government contracts.

Opportunities for growth, because turnover is high. Fair pay. Flex work schedule.

Staff commonly refer to it as “the dumpster fire”. Management is always too busy dealing with emergencies to fix bad systems that create emergencies. People who have been there too long are allowed to do whatever they want and treat others very poorly. Constant discussions of restructuring and large scale overhauls, but the people who stay are not open to change. Bully behavior is common and goes unaddressed or is even celebrated. Workloads for some are light and others can be completely unmanageable. High turnover compounds this issue.
