My worst
job was working for a company named Spartan business and Technologies. I served
in this capacity as a benefits advisor for the Department of Veterans Affairs.
It wasn’t considered a federal job, however it was federal work for a
contracted company. What made this company such a nuisance was the lack of team
work and no unit cohesion. “Team members who work
closely together generally have increased creativity and great ideas. These
advantages are very useful as employees make decisions, solve problems, and
help plan how to deliver products and services. Professional managers know that
the quality of teamwork relates directly to the quality of the customer
experience that is provided” While working for this company I was
required to pay for govt. training events out of my own pocket. We were
originally informed that our company would provide accurate funding for certain
training. Later we were asked to support ourselves and we would be reimbursed
no later than 2 weeks after the first day we returned from training. Well,
let’s just say that didn’t happen. The last and final time I traveled with this
company was to Colorado. Airfare was covered, as was room and board so I wasn’t
complaining. Long story short. I was fooled. I hated the company and its poor
leadership. After 6 months I left.
My best
job was being a United States Marine. While in the Marine Corps, I had the
opportunity to travel the world. I also participated in various special
missions stateside and internationally. The only things I wasn’t too fond of
while in the Corps were painful Middle East (Iraq) deployments. I met a lot of
great people, some I consider my family for life. Marines are known for
comradery and handling business. I would say it was one of the most challenging
experiences in my life to this point. I loved every second of the Marine Corps
and, Yes I would do it again.
