US Defense Logistics Agency reviews

I transferred to DLA due their focus on work/life balance and flexible telework. As well known, most technology companies use Telework as a best practice to optimize productivity and ensure employee work life balance. In fact, almost all DLA support contractors telework 100% of the time per the terms of their DLA contract. Mid-level employees have been allowed to Telework up to 4 days a week for many years. HOWEVER, this is no longer the case and DLA employees (As of Oct 15 22) are only allowed to work from home 1 day a week. DLA Senior Managers are STILL allowed to work from home 4 days a week and DLA contractors are still able to work 100% remote. Draw your own conclusions. DLA used to be a great place to work, but the newer Senior Management is imposing "old-school" management dictates on the mid to lower level workers. There are many better federal agencies to work for.

Inadequate training; inadequate recruitment processes such as not doing cradle to grave which hurts new employees with learning. Management lacks care for employees. I’ve seen people have family emergencies such as a child in the hospital and management still expects employees to work while their child is in the hospital!
