Working at United States Air Force in Oklahoma City, OK: 16 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Oklahoma City, OK Area

"I’ve worked at Tinker Air Force Base since 2012. Working within the DoD has been very beneficial to my career. Great management in my program office."

"I have had numerous opportunities to grow, and been lucky to have supervisors that believed I was ready to take on leadership positions despite my relatively short time in the career. I have enjoyed working with passionate people that care about the mission."

"I have been an Air Force member for 20 years. I have worked in several areas at 5 different bases. I have had 2 different career paths. The military isn't for everyone but I personally enjoy the structure of it. The pay could always be better but for the one weekend a month I give it's not bad. I have had several different supervisors and supervised a few people. I have learned that no one answer fits 'em all."

"I have worked for the United States Air Force for 8 years now and I have been able to fulfill every ambition that I had. I was able to travel not only the country but the world, complete my bachelors degree, and become a successful leader."

"After more than 22 years of military service, I'm ready to try a new challenge."

"I like the challenges and responsibility of this position, but would like to have more control to eliminate non-value added focus and control crisis management."

"Awesome organizational, communication and camaraderie."

"I've been in the Air Force since 2009. It's a great place to start your life. You get some great training, amazing experiences, and you meet some unforgettable people."

"I loved being in the USAF!"

"I've worked here since 2009 and have seen a lot happen with furloughs/potential RIFs and a mass exodus of engineers leaving for greener pastures. It can be an awesome place to work (with the right peers) but can also be one of the most frustrating places to work with limited resources and possible insecurity of your job. Benefits can be awesome, but pay will be less than other places. For engineers there's always more work than you can handle, but other jobs it seems less so."

"I have worked for the United States Air Force for 10 years now and am constantly frustrated at inefficiencies within daily operations and management."

"I have worked with the US Air Force for 16 years total. Been very happy with my job, but not much of opportunity for someone at my level of experience with the AIR Force at this time with the budget cuts."

"USAF is good if you like to see the world... at the most inconvenient times of your life. Out of 7 kids I saw one take her first steps... it was #7."

"Bigoted, ignorant, overbearing."
