Meaningful work for the ones who protect us
Area Sales Manager (Former Employee) - Arlington, VA - May 25, 2020
Working at the Marine Corps Exchange was a privilege. The staff was the most diverse group of people I have ever worked with in my life! Most were very kind, genuine, hard working people. Upper management could be a problem at times. It doesn't matter if we're talking about the public or private sector, if you have a bad manager that has been at the facility for years, it can seriously damage the morale of others. What do you do when you have someone with decades of experience, but makes other people, including vendors feel worthless? If it wasn't for her and the lack of pay raises, I would have retired from that job because I loved it so much.
Pros
Very diverse, great employees, granted shopping privileges, good prices, no taxes, flex scheduling, location, superior benefits
Cons
Only upper management (NF 4 & higher) are granted every federal holiday off

Daily Production and Morale
Brand Integrity Manager (Current Employee) - Arlington, VA - February 11, 2020
Great Company to work for but not compensated for daily task. Many employees have left and work load is full on employees that have had loyalty to the company but many have left because of work loads and management,

Great environment
EFMP Family Case Worker (Former Employee) - Arlington, VA - September 1, 2019
I would work there again. I did notice at times that it was difficult to move up within the organization. That is why I left, I needed an opportunity to grow as an individual and move up in my career.

Provides a better civilian life than a Military Life.
Marine Security Guard (Former Employee) - Dulles, VA - July 26, 2019
During my time in the Marine Corps, I became underappreciated and underpaid for the works I provided. The Marine Corps instructed and taught a lot of life skills and will always remain as a part of myself,

Horrifying Workplace Culture
Manager (Current Employee) - Arlington, VA - January 10, 2019
There is an overwhelming culture of complacency. Low standards and lack of ambition is actually rewarded. Passionate employees with high work ethics and drive for results are shunned or run out.

Best Military Branch
Administration Manager (Former Employee) - Arlington, VA - October 8, 2018
The Marine Corps help shape and define my character as a person and a professional. Entering at the tender age of 19, I truly learned everything about professionalism, customs and courtesies, and to have a great work ethic. By far the best organization I have ever been part of.
Pros
Healthcare, physical requirements, travel, Post 9-11 Bill
Cons
long hours, work-life balance

Hard work
Aviation Electronics Technician (Former Employee) - Bethesda, MD - August 5, 2018
Over all, you'll get treated like a child no matter what age you are. You will get micro managed a lot. In order to make it you'll have to be a yes man or you won't make it far. And what I mean by being a yes man, being an butt kisser.
Take the good with the bad and learn from your experience while you are in
Pros
Paid vacation
Cons
Poor management

Great career for those wishing work in public service. Can be highly stressful and can be demanding both physically and mentally. Has the blessing and curse of interacting with both the best and worst of society.

N/a
Supply Chain Manager (Current Employee) - Arlington, VA - November 16, 2017
The United States Marine Corps has a rigid leadership structure that required promotion and rank for authority over experience. Management positions are dependent on time in service.
