Pros

I worked in kbr as contractor i liked a lot, i was working as a foreigner in the middle east for 3 years, started in afghanistan as laborer in the costruction dept i did not speak english very well at that time, but learnt quickly, after i went to iraq to work as laborer foreman the good things were good pay, i got to work with all diferent kind of people from different cultures i made really good friends there, i had my own room food free, laundry free, the gym free what else i could ask for. we worked 12 hours a day from monday to sunday but i cant complain for the benefits i got

Cons
