3.1I have worked for Air Force Village West for over a decade now and the company has unfortunately become quite unstable. Employee morale is at an all time low and upper management gives little appreciation to the employees that strive to make AFVW a nice place for the people who live there to be. Employee concerns and needs are flushed under the rug and any claims or concerns that need to be addressed by Human Resources are more often than not discounted or go nowhere leaving only the state to handle important employee concerns. Supervisor / employee relationships are generally very good. The breakdown comes once you need to address upper management or HR. Corporate Compliance resides in the same department as HR, so serious issues are often handled by the wrong department and Supervisor / Employee retaliation is becoming more of a significant issue than it has in the past. The pay is significantly below average and opportunity for advancement is non existent. This company has great potential not only as an employer but as a overall facility. Unfortunately the direction or lack thereof of upper management will most likely bankrupt the company before it can successfully turn things around. If you are looking for work there, it is a great place to get your feet wet and get some training under your belt in an overall plan to move on, please do not plan in staying long-term. Your efforts and hard work will only be wasted on a company that does not appreciate them. On a positive note, the employees are very friendly and the food is good.
1.6It depends on your job (AFSC), and even more on the people. If you enlist as a maintainer like I unfortunately did, you're going to be 'shafted' on a regular basis by people who have no idea what they're doing, your peers will be bottom or near bottom of the barrel kind of people, and if you don't like hunting/fishing/football or you aren't from the south, you WILL be singled out and ostracized... good luck! Take what experience that you can while you have the opportunity; it's a fantastic stepping stone if you know the right people, and are lucky enough to be at the right places at the right time. Maintenance sucks, and AMMO sucked even more.
4.4The U.S. Air Force is perfect for certain people. The main target audience that should join are persons who are college age that do not yet know what they want to do with their lives. The Air Force will give you GREAT benefits vs. required education/experience. If you let them control your life, they will repay in kind. If you choose to do your four years, you will leave with the title of "Veteran," a valuable thing. If you choose to retire after 20 years, you will get a pension. Great!
