Working at United States Air Force in Riverside, CA: 4 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Riverside, CA Area

"I have worked for Air Force Village West for over a decade now and the company has unfortunately become quite unstable. Employee morale is at an all time low and upper management gives little appreciation to the employees that strive to make AFVW a nice place for the people who live there to be. Employee concerns and needs are flushed under the rug and any claims or concerns that need to be addressed by Human Resources are more often than not discounted or go nowhere leaving only the state to handle important employee concerns. Supervisor / employee relationships are generally very good. The breakdown comes once you need to address upper management or HR. Corporate Compliance resides in the same department as HR, so serious issues are often handled by the wrong department and Supervisor / Employee retaliation is becoming more of a significant issue than it has in the past. The pay is significantly below average and opportunity for advancement is non existent. This company has great potential not only as an employer but as a overall facility. Unfortunately the direction or lack thereof of upper management will most likely bankrupt the company before it can successfully turn things around. If you are looking for work there, it is a great place to get your feet wet and get some training under your belt in an overall plan to move on, please do not plan in staying long-term. Your efforts and hard work will only be wasted on a company that does not appreciate them. On a positive note, the employees are very friendly and the food is good."
