Advice to Senior Management

Continue to empower Junior NCOs to become the leaders of tomorrow.

Pros

Leadership experience, physical fitness, camaraderie, mental challenge, lots of responsibility, acquire fast thinking and reaction skills. You get to work with expensive equipment.

Cons

It is a physically demanding environment and doesn't have much space for any sort of insubordination. You will make many sacrifices.

Advice to Senior Management

Leadership by example is the best advice for leadership anyone can give. Think well and seek advice from subordinates if necessary.

Pros

The Marines draw a quality of individual unequaled by any other employer I've seen. Combine this with the mission and any pay differentials are more that offset by the pride in service.

Cons

Requires significant time away from the family. Pay is not on par with equivalent private sector jobs. Good/bad is you compete with high quality individuals so the bar is high.

Advice to Senior Management

Hold the standard, do not lower requirements for either officer or enlisted. If given the choice between Marines or equipment, choose Marines - they easily make-up for any technology shortfall.

Pros

Travel the world and do some amazing things and meet some amazing people.

Cons

War is hell and it gets old after the first few.

Advice to Senior Management

Keep up the good work.

Pros

plenty of room for promotion, but it is all on you to get where you want to be. the friendships made and comradery is second to none. The definition for team work is shown everyday by Marines. And the chances to see the world are given all the time.

A lot of leaders and people become road blocks to who and where you want to be. There is a lot of hypocracy and little common sense used in a lot of situations.

Not doing the job you were trained to do.

Advice to Senior Management

Only promote competent leaders.

Pros

Good Training, decent benefits, and the ability of relocating.

Cons

The Marine Corps as a whole works almost 10-11 hour days while paying its personnel under the poverty line. And to top it all off all the government wants to do is to cut the military pay for a while to help with deficits and everything else wrong with this country. We put up with all of this and the problems from inside the workplace.

You can't ask me this.
