- Current Employee, more than 5 years★★★★★
Pros
I loved my time as a grunt and had wonderful co workers
Cons
Lots of people get promoted who really shouldnt
- Former Employee, more than 10 years★★★★★
Pros
Federal Holiday Armed Forces, is a true family environment. You will develop a special bond with other service members that is impossible to replicate elsewhere. Even after you leave the military that bond will last forever. When veterans pass on the streets they wear their stripes proudly and with colors.
Cons
The U.S. Military is not an easy job on families. The U.S. Military is the most disciplined work environment you will ever experience. They have rules and guidelines for everything. Some of which you may not agree with fully. The Armed Forces is no democracy. There is a ranking order and soldiers with more clout get to make the rules (obviously within reason). In addition to being able to get disciplined and not talk back, new enlistees should also expect a lack of privacy and some uncomfortable living standards – depending on where deployed.
- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
•Consistent Salary •Travel opportunities •Networking opportunities •30 days of annual leave (2.5 a month) •Compensation for any and all additional family members if they are your legal dependent. •Educational opportunities are available
Cons
•Insufficient Salary •Terrible work environments, facilities, and leadership •Lack of Human Resourcing in the work space, •Janitorial work is apart of your job description •You fall under all civilian and military laws and jurisdiction which provides you with a very stressful and invaded life •Salary based so you work weekends and overtime almost every day with no compensation for it •Bonuses are selective to MOS, taxed, and reduced even more if the job wasn’t voluntary (this company can force you to do any job under the phrase “Needs of the Marine Corps”) •You join as a Marine, not as your job title, so everything and all is expected of you. •Education is available, but hard to complete with the workload you have. Time isn’t afforded to you.
- Current Employee, more than 10 years★★★★★
Pros
The Marine Corps has a great way to ensure it recruits and trains top notch individuals.
Cons
The organization needs modernization to truly value and promote talent. The current system is beyond antiquated and ensures that pursuit of subject matter expertise is discouraged in the ranks.
Continue reading - Former Employee★★★★★
