Working at United States Navy in Millington, TN: 5 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Millington, TN Area

"Go Navy, it will be the best decision of your life, you will see the world and develop skills unlike anyone else."

"I worked for the United States Navy from October 2011 - May 2019. Of course every place has ups and downs. I had a great experience in the Navy, and wouldn't give it up for anything. It gave me the opportunity to see dozens of places I most likely never would have, and learn so many different skills. But there are down sides, too, of course. Regardless of what your rate or MOS is, your pay is pretty much the same. For example: 1) If you are an E4 Yeoman (Office Administrator) you are paid the same as an E4 Aviation Machinist's Mate (Aircraft Powerplant Mechanic), where the mechanic will most likely work well over 8 hours per day, performing intense manual labor, and having the lives of aircraft pilots depending on their work. They say, "Choose your rate, choose your fate" and it is 100% true. Compensation is incredibly unbalanced for the potential work performed. 2) Certain places you go, you will experience favoritism to excessive degrees, which unfortunately can prevent you from excelling. I still did really well, stood out, and advanced quickly, but there were definitely times that opportunities were given to individuals who were obviously less qualified or prepared for them."
