I worked at Air Force Reserve part-time for more than 10 years
Pros – As 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.
Cons – You 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 Management – When developing web based systems and software, don't forget that Reservists don't always have access to CAC card logins or .mil addresses.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Pros – Flexibility. Family-Oriented. Sincere Leadership. Advancement oopportunities. Education.
Cons – If 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 Management – Definitely 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.

I have been working at Air Force Reserve
Pros – Medical, dental, savings, travel and retirement are just a few. Autonomy, and a fast-paced environment with room for professional and personal growth.
Cons – Senior 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 Management – Listen to the field in order to improve the bottom line. Promote only those that are truly deserving. Level the playing field.

I worked at Air Force Reserve
Pros – Middle 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.
Cons – Vision and tactical direction from leadership is unstable and opaque. Better communication and goal clarity would be an extremely beneficial policy.
Advice to Senior Management – Commit 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.
