Working at General Dynamics in Phoenix, AZ: 5 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Phoenix, AZ Area

"Good company but poor management on some of the projects. They preferred to motivate by fear. If you didn't do what they wanted they would not coach to try and help people succeed . They would just threaten them with their jobs. They had a very high turnover of employees. Management didn't understand how to say thank you. I volunteered to help the company and worked the graveyard shift because nobody else would. But in my review they said I never go above and beyond. When I brought up examples of how I did go above and beyond. Like opening new call center in Hattiesburg MS I stayed there for a month with no help. So I worked 15 hr days for a month until we got more people hired that were local. Because nobody else would take the job. But I stepped up and they just said that is my job, no reason to thank me."

"General Dynamics had bought out the company Vangent, in order to acquire the contract to provide customer service for www.HealthCare.gov. My job while at GDIT was customer service representative for healthcare.gov, and was primarily responsible for assisting customers fill out applications for health insurance. It was an easy enough job; but, as you my have heard, healthcare.gov and the application are still in need of massive improvements - which could make completing the application difficult."
