U.S. Navy Employer Reviews

fun traveling, good food making friends good leadership skills

I was a work center supervisor of a carpenter shop, an E-6 (Damage Control-man Petty Officer First Class), duty section leader, supply Petty Officer, safety supervisor. I learned much in the Navy. I started out as an E-1 at 17 years old going to basic training, and was in upper management withing 8 years as an E-6 and E-7 candidate. I loved working – more... with my coworkers, and was on one of the first ships in the Navy to help integrate women onto a combat ship. The hardest part of the job was being away from family so much. And the most enjoyable part of the job was that when I had to be away, we would visit some pretty nice places I would would not have the opportunity to visit if it was not for being in the Navy – less

typically you get to work around 7, and get off around 4or 5. Depending on what you have going on. You may have duty and be at work over night.

A typical day at work begins at 4:30 am preparing and cooking food for patrons for the establishment, making sure everyone in the front and back of the house complete the task at have. The hardest part of the job would be short breaks through out the day and the most enjoyable part of the job is greeting and meeting new people around base and making – more... sure they are satisfied with the three meals we serve everyday also learning something new everyday. – less

The management in this business leaves a lot to be desired. Personal safety should come before political correctness.

A typical day would start off with a maintenance meeting, after meeting the commend would do a all hand FOD walk down. After FOD walk down we launch and recover Jet and supply parts and tool that is need for work load. Great Chain of Commend, Great co-work and shipmates. Hardest part of the military is leaving family to deploy for 6 months to a year. – more... The part of the military i enjoy most is the travel and great people you met in the US and overseas. – less

I enjoyed all the experience I gained while in the military as well as the opportunities that were open to me afterwards.

best thing i ever did
world travel
great pay and bennies

Advancement is dependent on job specialty and manning levels. Those that are not technical are the slowest. Team work is not a phrase but the only way to achieve the mission. The people make it great.

The U.S. Navy will offer leadership and learning opportunities to anyone with a solid work ethic and strong character.

Made for single men, you don't get much sleep and you spend a lot of time away from home.

Managing and supervising the preparation of food for mass sailors. Everything dealing with food production, logistics, and sanitation of food and food areas. I learned leadership, mentor, and training techniques. Most all mangers were very responsible and knowledgeable. The hardest part of the job was leaving family for months at a time. The most enjoyable – more... part of the job was to visit different countries and experience their culture. – less

A typical day consist of an early wake up and continuous work until late evenings.

Long work hours with large job satisfaction, learned many valuable skills including management. Hardest part of the job was being away from family for very long periods of time.

Hoorah. I love my country and am proud of my service. OEF & OIF Combat Veteran. VF-213 Fighting Blacklions.

Military service is definitely a unique experience. Was definitely fun when i look back but can be a very demanding job.....

plenty of real life lessons and a better future. even if it stresses sometimes

I was able to see other parts of the world and gained some knowledge to help me in the civilian world

Tough job but well worth the benefits that await you at the end of your term. I learned a lot about myself and a ton of transferable skills that relate to civilian jobs. The toughest part about the military is the time away from family.

Very interesting experience and mostly a fantastic time meeting people from all parts of the world
