U.S. Navy Employer Reviews

Every day is different.
I learned to lead people and supervise
Management varies but usually verry effecient.
Hardest part about the Navy is being away so much, and is also one of the most enjoyable parts of the job.. Seeing the world.

Was able to learn a great deal, and experience several diffrent aspects of intelligence.

My 23 years of Naval service was very challenging and rewarding. I was afforded many opportunities to accept greater responsibilities, and always took advantage of those opportunities. I started my career as an avionics technician and worked my way to a production supervisor position near the end of my career. I enjoyed working with the many different – more... people I had the opportunity to meet and serve with, when faced with challenging demands, teamwork would always prevail and produce positive results. The hardest part of my job was being away from family, but the sacrifices made to have the opportunity to serve my country was truly a privilege for me. My most enjoyable position in my career was working as a production supervisor. Working with work center supervisors to achieve and provide the safest and most reliable aircraft possible was the most rewarding aspect of my career. I fostered many relationships of trust and professionalism with many supervisors, and always encouraged input from them to help us, as a team, find the most efficient and effective ways to accomplish a task without jeopardizing the safety of personnel and equipment or the quality of workmanship. – less

Glad I stuck it out to 20 years. The time went fast. My experiences are precious to me and valuable t future employers.

50 to 60 hour weeks or more depending on the situation are never fun, but the pay and benefits made up for it most the time.

the day started 0645 with muster then lunch break if time is available. work finished at 1530.

the day depends on what is going on during that exact time. nothing is consisent. the best part of the job is knowing that you are doing hard for the right cuase and with the same people who made the same vow as you did.

on a typical day i managed 5 personnel, learning management and leadership skills

Learning how to work under stress
Learning how to become Responsible
Learning how to communicate with coworkers

Very good way to learn responsibility. Great way to learn how to become a manager and learn how to grow in your field of work.

I will always love the time i spent in the navy those are times i will never forget

My day at work was always a good one because of my team i was working with we never seem to have bad days. we all understood that if we work together we could complete any task that was put in front of us and everybody respected everybody no matter the rank or position.

what a job and a Career,I got to see the world, Go into battle with true warriors

I was in charge of a team that consisted of 15 people and I would distribute daily duties among them so they would get done in a timely manner. I also helped run the office that had about 45 people and I would keep track of everybody's personal records, weekly doctor appointments or any other kind of appts. I would also help the executive officer of – more... the base with any paper work or anything else he needed. I learned a lot about being a manager and how to handle different people. – less

Though I had my disagreements the navy taught me how to live out in the world. It gave me principles and logic. It taught me how to work in a fast paced environment and thrive on my own.

There is no more rewarding work than the military, long hours, many miles from home, but you are truly making a difference in the world.

I enjoyed my 13 years in the Navy. I learned a lot and met good hearted people. The hardest part of my job was leaving my family. The most enjoyable part of my job was the training.

Good place to start out
Excellent benefits
good people
adventure
Opporutnities

A typical underway work day consisted of 2 eight hour watches with maintenance/sleep/shower/food during non-watch time. During dry dock/home port times lots of maintenance is occurring throughout the plants and there is a lot more down time. I learned how to perform various simple and advanced maintenance procedures and techniques. I also learned how – more... to operate, maintain, understand and interpret nuclear power plant operations and changes. Military management varies, not everyone in a higher position is competent some of them were just promoted to prevent discharge from staying the same rank for more than four years. In the military co-workers vary in every way from really nice people to people that harass others just to pass time. The hardest part of the job was the long times at sea, not being able to call home and really communicate with anyone from home for an extended period of time. The most enjoyable part of the job was being able to see the world and experience many cultures of various countries. – less

My time in the military was an amazing experience, I gained extensive knowledge on multiple aircraft and metal working processes.
