URS Employer Reviews

Working for URS can be shakey. I was laid off and re-hired less than a month later. I was again laid off about 2 months later. Working for them is OK, but it seems like they are more interested in their bottom line than the employee. Over the past few years the company took away all paid sick days, 401K matching, and changed paid vacation policies. – more... All of this lead to my own worksite voting in a union in order to protect our benifits. – less

I would recommend URS to anyone with good work ethics. The company is fair and extends a great deal of resources to its personnel.

Fast pace environment, with plenty of opportunities to cross train, and enhance and develop different skills.

I've been working for URS for nearly 14 years and I have enjoyed each and everyone one. The people make the place special.

The pay was mediocre to say at least but this is of course a big corporation which values production with micro management. Advancement was little at best and no annual pay raises. Employees worked hard to repair the vehicles that were brought into them but no room for improvements or initiative.

Responsible for all Instrumentation & Controls commissioning activities and documentation associated with the
PCAPP Demilitarization Project.

Received training from peers. Work overload. Great co workers

URS is great company. With unlimited potential to grow and be successful.

Was a greatly diverse engineering company that followed many different industries.

Worked in the Richmond, Va office. No support staff provided even though it was promised. Remote staff is located in Virginia Beach almost 2 hrs away. Upper management was not supportive of employees advancing themselves. Typical good old boy system. a ton of indian chiefs at the top but no indians to do the work. Stay out of this office....Layoff Central.

I work 4 10 Hr Days A Week
Co workers where Good People
I was a Self Starter on my job

Working for URS as project manager at Baton Rouge Metropolition Airport was exciting. Each day brought new problems to solve. Coordinated with consultants, contractors, government officials and project owners. Enjoyed my work with URS.

The work was so easy,at this job.Only thing i did was to drive around the base and pick cardboard and paper.One of my co-worker was funny to be around,the other was playful.The hardest part of this job is to find something to do.

I was working at URS as a Temp. While I was there I offered to help create a spreadsheet to help the facilities Manager record and calculate all invoices for 8 different offices across the UK. This task was challenging but very much rewarding.

I found URS a nice place to work, the co-workers wer very helpful and friendly. It made my short stay enjoyable.

While the work we did at this site was extremely dangerous the company was very safety consious and proactive in keeping employees interactive in the progress of the work.

The people that worked for me are awsome. Enjoyed traing new Navy pilots for the fleet and traing younger technicians

There was a lack of relationship with anyone within URS. The company was too large with its sole goal to make money.

Working at URS gives me a great feeling of confidence, and saftey. We acheived over 16 million safe man hours, and 2 VPP star awards. The number one rule at URS is the saftey of my self, and the saftey of others. It was a team that i was proud to be apart of.
We destroyed the largest stock pile of chemical warfar munitions in the world, and I am proud – more... I played a part in that role. – less

A typical day at work includes performing normal Logistics Task per the the contractual agreement with the Army. I learned an up close perspective of the new Army provisioning system and database LMP. The management team /company is great but on this contract, we are a sub to another company and I am not comfortable/appreciate the relationship. My co-workers – more... are old professionals that know the inside and out. The hardest part of the job is working as a sub to another company that could learn a lot about teaming. The most enjoyable part of the job was being an important component of the US Army's mission accomplishment. – less
