Challenging and rewarding

Lieutenant Col (Former Employee)
Washington, DC

I worked at Air Force Reserve part-time for more than 10 years

ProsAs an Individual Mobilization Augmentee I worked along side the active force on special projects around the world. I was exposed to opportunities that I never would have had. If I stayed a member of the active force.

ConsYou really need to personally manage your career growth and assignments. The IMA life is much more difficult than that of a drilling reservist, but the opportunities are more varied too.

Advice to Senior ManagementWhen developing web based systems and software, don't forget that Reservists don't always have access to CAC card logins or .mil addresses.

My experience so far with USAFR has been an overall great one.

Personnel Readiness (Current Employee)
Seymour Johnson AFB, NC

I have been working at Air Force Reserve part-time for more than a year

ProsFlexibility. Family-Oriented. Sincere Leadership. Advancement oopportunities. Education.

ConsIf I had to say, it would probably be uniforms. Being a former Marine, no other branch of service uniform would honestly be a better fit.

Advice to Senior ManagementDefinitely keep going in the direction you're going. You'll are doing an exceptional job at keeping the intergrity of the organisation by being current & relevant with the channels of communication.

A rewarding and challenging job with great benefits.

Recruiter (Current Employee)
March Air Reserve Base, CA

I have been working at Air Force Reserve

ProsMedical, dental, savings, travel and retirement are just a few. Autonomy, and a fast-paced environment with room for professional and personal growth.

ConsSenior level management can be out of touch with the day-to-day operations of a recruiter. No cash incentives for a job well done.

Advice to Senior ManagementListen to the field in order to improve the bottom line. Promote only those that are truly deserving. Level the playing field.

Great place to gain experience, long-term growth opportunities extremely limited.

Anonymous Employee (Former Employee)
Denver, CO

I worked at Air Force Reserve

ProsMiddle management is very supportive and candid, very good feedback and communication of functional expectations from my experience. Initiative is rewarded and camaraderie is very strong.

ConsVision and tactical direction from leadership is unstable and opaque. Better communication and goal clarity would be an extremely beneficial policy.

Advice to Senior ManagementCommit to long-term goals and make them public. Instead of getting lost in benchmarks and metrics, figure out realistic goals that most satisfy core customers and concentrate on cementing them. Also, not transition training at position hand offs makes for a tremendously inefficient and unnecessary learning curve and creates inconsistency in standards along with a general lack of continuity. It's the forest for the trees.
