U.S. Navy Employer Reviews

The navy was a good experience. I liked the travel and learning new traits.

Conducting program reviews and identifying opportunities for efficiencies and trade-offs.

Learned about Program evaluation and contracting work.

Great co-workers; motivated to do assist in efforts.

Retiring from the Navy was the hardest part of the job.

Working with Senior Executive level staff in briefings and conferences.

I had a great experience with the Navy. The commradre was the most enjoyable thing about the Navy. That and the travel.

MY TIME IN THE NAVY WENT EXTREMELY WELL. THE EXPERIENCE I LEARNED WHILE IN THE NAVY WAS INVALUABLE.

loved the life. everyone should try it. always learning new thing and meeting new people.

Good place to work but a lot of time away from family. On deployment was long work days but was enjoyable place to work

Typical day at work included but was not limited to doing maintenance, standing watch on duty days, rebuilding equipment, working on damaged or troubled equipment, and making sure all spaced owned were cleaned, and supervising and training lesser ranked coworkers. I learned to do maintenance, stand an internal security watch, take logs, supervise, clean – more... spaces, and rebuild or build equipment. Management was okay, depending on the individual there were good and bad management personnel. Same for co-workers, some were good and productive and others caused a lot of issues and were not as productive or helpful. Hardest part of the job was inspections periods and going on deployment because it required a lot of time and work and was very stressful or tiring. Most enjoyable part of the job was going overseas and seeing new places of the world that I otherwise would have probably never seen. The job had good benefits, healthcare, and structure building but also came with a lot of stress, drama, and issues but a lot of jobs have that and it takes a grown person to properly deal with these issues so I learned and handled just fine. – less

Constant challenges and opportunities for growth. Will garner experience in working with various cultures, people, and management. Will also travel frequently but will always always be presented with opportunities for education and training in your chosen field.

Never know what is coming next. Thing change all the time and you must be able to change with them.

From my start as a Deck Seaman on a Frigate to the end as a Coxswain (Boat Captain) on an armed patrol boat, day to day, week to week activites have varied immensly. Every challenge was conquered, every day ended on a good note.

Typical day would change every 5 hours depending on what the mission was at that time. Travel is good.

If I had to do it all over again I would. I loved being in the Navy. I saw a lot patients. I treated a lot of patients and all the doctor did was sign my soap not. I also got to see the world.

Uncomparable life experience. A true school of logic, ethics, leadership, and most of all, responsibility. A proud chapter of my life.

Work when out to sea depends on you job. Me, i worked on the flight deck so my days were long and tiring but i loved it. I learned how to be a leader as i moved up in rank.

My day at work starts around 5:00 am in the morning as I am the LPO in the AFT propulsion plant engine room standing by for my younger sailors to get ready to work and preparing them with the day work list. I have learned how to coordinate, control, plan and carry out various type of task simultaneously. Also, I have learned the management of people – more... and multi-million dollars worth of equipment being the work center supervisor managing the efficiency and efficacy in carrying out the maintenance on all equipment that is located in my space. I have also learned a lot about how to deal with different people from different background and ethnicity as this is one of the hardest part of my job being the LPO. The most enjoyable part of my job is my ability to get things that required of me done within a stipulated time frame and in cost effectiveness manner with the support of my younger sailor. – less

Lots of opportunities to learn, travel, and meet new people.

The Navy opened so many doors for me and helped me grow as a person. I graduated college on the G.I.Bill which allowed me the freedom to concentrate on my studies and not be distracted with financial issues, my books and tuition were paid for and the housing allowance was more than adequate.

check and maintain the ac and refrigeration on the ship. everyone was really close knit in my shop like a family, hardest part of the job was when we would have a fire in the middle of the night.

injoyed my time there good place to learn and meet new contacts

I enjoyed my time with the Navy. I would am proud to have served in the finest Navy in the world. I have seen t parts of the world I only dreamed about. I would recommend anyone willing to service in the military I believe the Navy is a great choice to start a career or seek career training and college.
