U.S. Air Force Employer Reviews

This is a great career for those who start off unsure of what they want to do. Will allow you to go to school without inquiring any debt and still earning a nice paycheck.

The only negatives I found in my time was management is usually underqualified for their position and learned to lead from a manual instead of having those traits naturally. Second, – more... its hard to start a family and maintain that steady balance of work and home life due to deployments and other travel requirements. – less

I was constantly busy and being pushed to excel. I loved my job.

I don't regret nor would I take back one minute of the time I served in the Air Force. While serving, I developed friendships that will last a lifetime and I have had the opportunity to meet a lot of outstanding people. As a Law Enforcement/Security Officer, the day to day job was very rewarding yet quite unpredictable. The most enjoyable part of the – more... job did not come from the Law Enforcement duties, but as a supervisor. Being a supervisor was by far the most rewarding part of my time served. Training and depeloping my young Airmen was demanding but the rewards far outweighed the stressors. Giving an18-19 year old Airman the tools, training, mentorship they need to succeed was one of my duties as a supervisor. This can be quite demanding but seeing them receive an early promotion or a unit level award is a pretty great feeling. I officially became a supervisor in late 2005 and began with 2 subordinates. Buy the time I seperated from the USAF in late 2012, I had 6 direct subordinates who each had 4-6 subordinates of their own. Training/mentoring others and seeing positive results is what I attempt to accomplish on a daily basis. – less

Job location Germany and other overseas locations. Excellent benefits and environment.

I greatly enjoyed my time in the Air Force and refueling planes was a fun experience.

Varied from day to day so it was never boring. How to repair roads asphalt and concrete and also fences and to operate heavy equipment but t depends a lot on your job title. Management is hard to deal with sometimes due to all the politics and procedures in the military. Co- workers are good its a very family oriented work environment. Hardest part – more... of the job is being in different regions of the country and away from everything that you know. Most enjoyable part is all the events that the military has to offer. – less

life changing a true honor and privilege. was the best thing ever happen to me

Mostly classified but interesting work of national significance.
I learned discipline, punctuality and to take and give orders.
Management was, as to be expected in the military and you clearly knew your responsibilities and who you were responsible to and for.
Coworkers both military and civilian were loyal and hardworking.
The hardest part of the – more... job was the shift work and no 8 to 5 mentality. If need be you worked until the job was completed.
The most enjoyable part of the job was the camaraderie and knowing that you were doing something important. – less

Perform mission essential calibrations. Troubleshoot, align and repair TMDE. Electronic and physical dimension.

Loved working at WPAFB, great place to work with great people and was able to do what I loved to do which is working in an office environment

I'm glad I joined the Air Force. My only regret is I wish I would've stayed in until I retired. Was able to travel the world and learned some very valuable life lessons that are still used today.

I had an office job, which made my life really easy. I had a set schedule and rarely ever worked over 8 hours in a day and always had an hour lunch break. Management depends on your supervisor...there are good ones and bad ones.

Great place to work, good people and decent money. Co workers are good, hardest part about my job was family time

Besides the Educational benefits, I would not recommend the Air Force to anyone. Unless you get a job not related to airplanes.

This is an outstanding organization with a proud and deep heritage. There are countless opportunities available for the right individual.

Proud to serve my country and great way to develop leadership and management skills.

Requiring dedication, respect and honor. Great opportunities for training and growing as an individual. Structured work with a broad range of duties and colleagues. At the end of the day you can return home proud.
