Working at United States Navy in Norfolk, VA: 169 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Norfolk, VA Area

"I've worked for the US Navy for four years now in two major locations. It has been an eye-opening experience and it has pushed my talent and skills to the highest level while being in a stressful and non-stop work environment. Great opportunity."

"I have worked for the Department of the Navy since 2002, and have been working with the Department of Defense and Department of Homeland Security for over 20 years. I have come to the point that I am looking to expand my experience out to the commercial world."

"The US Military is not for everyone. If you have an interest, do your research and make your decision from there."

"I've been in the U.S. Navy for 23 years and it has been a pleasurable experience. I have enjoyed leading up and down the company structure while still maintaining the ability to mentor all types of people. I would recommend this opportunity for anyone."

"Great benefits, and hard work!"

"It's extremely hard work but if you can handle the work load this is a great job or career."

"Great career!!! Would have loved to have been able to retire if that had been an option at that time."

"I've been in the Navy for 8 years, 6 as an electrician for the nuclear propulsion plants. Years of schooling and OJT have prepared me for anything. Navy health benefits are first rate. I am looking forward to taking advantage of the Navy's education benefits. All in all for a single man who wants a vocation, wants schooling, and wants to travel, the Navy is a good deal. Be prepared to put in long work hours, both in port and at sea."

"I had a fun experience in the Navy, and would do it over without question."

"I worked for the US Navy from June 2010 to June 2014. I was deployed twice and spent the majority of my enlistment at sea. It was a difficult experience but I walked away with an advanced knowledge of the IT field and how to work as a team."

"The United States Navy is generally a good environment. The pay is equal to the work that is accomplished. Considering that the military gives you a home, medical, dental, extra pay, and vacation time, the military is an easy life. The downside is favoritism, unrealistic advancement requirements, and misuse of funds."

"I have served in the Military for the past 20 years and have greatly enjoyed the experience."
