KBR in iraq

I am being considered for a position as an MWR coordinator in Iraq with KBR. I want to talk with anyone who has/is working for KBR in Iraq. I need to know how you feel you are being treated, what are your living conditions like, are you glad you took the job, at which camp are you stationed, do you know anything about camp endurance in Qaiyarah?
thanks

Can you tell me if you took the job with KBR? If so I am looking for living conditions in the contractor arrangements.

I have been at about 4 different camps. The living conditions are very good. Very few people (if any) live in tents. Almost everyone lives in a trailer, usually without a roomate. You may have to share a bathroom. Each room is furnished and very much like a college dorm situation only better. I always had hot water, air conditioning and heat (if I wanted it).

Can you tell me what your job for KBR is? Have you been able to get the time off as stated? Do you really work all 7 days a week and 12 hour shifts?

can you tell me the type of work you do and what the work schedule was like. did you have any problems with the KBR processing?

you do work 7/12s
not all the time you want to take off is paid
holiday pay/approved sick day is only for 8 hours not 12
you are NOT acually an employee of KBR, but rather an off-shore company that does not pay into the us system, so you can not draw unemployment benefits.
most of the employees have low work ethics

personal interest in seeking employment with kbr, preferably in Iraq. Have tried on their website,but this seems to be a method of fishing in a pond with an inadequate bait. Did anyone utilize a service that required a sign-up fee?

The position I'm interested in is labor forman with possibility to seek other opportunities once there and adjusted.

Experience has been you cannot be hired from outside the company as foreman. You will need to start at the bottom of your field and work your way up. Once you're in the company, you'll wait for a certain amount of time before you can be promoted.

We used KBR's website. My advise, apply for all jobs that you have even a slight interest in. I mean, hundreds of jobs. If you apply for just a few, you'll be overlooked. They get millions of applications daily, they go in a "pile" as they come in, you want your's on top, so apply for lots and lots of jobs on a daily basis!!!

You should be fine as long as you just do what you are told. Don't ask questions. Don't question any waste fraud and abuse issues. If you do raise the red flag on any issue expect to be chastised, probably threatened to be fired and most likely transferred to a less desirable location. Promotions are not based on merit and qualifications. They are based on loyalty and nothing more.
