United States Air Force Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"The Air Force was one of the best times of my life but the high op-tempo and the long deployments drove me to seek other avenues."

"Great company to work for, as long as you like hard work."

"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 worked for USAF for 8 years. Found the training and ability to work on high-end equipment appealing. Moving up is slow, and leadership is not always based on career knowledge."

"309 SMXG is a great place to work. The work is interesting, and my coworkers and immediate supervisors are great. However as with any massive organization, there are top down policies that can hinder and slow down work. It is also disappointing that there is little compensation for hard work. Pay only depends on time with the company."

"I have been employed by the US Air Force for over twenty years as an active duty member and now a drilling reservist. I greatly enjoy many opportunities provided by the military and am confident that anyone with the attitude of self improvement will find the military life very rewarding."

"I've served in the air force for 5+ years. The knowledge I have learned and experience the Air Force has provided me has been exceptional. I have had the opportunity to serve in two tours Iraq and Afghanistan. I have enjoyed every minute and am ready to start a new career."

"Low pay, long hours, and hard to progress in rank."

"I worked for the United States Air Force for 6 years. Most of which was in Malmstrom AFB in Great Falls, MT."

"I've enjoyed my time in the AIr Force greatly. I am currently thinking about going back in."

"I worked for the Military since September of 1990. I enjoyed the time spent in the service. I would recommend the military to anyone. Some of the different branches are different the others. The best quality of life is the U.S. Air Force. The U.S. Army is good also."

"The Air Force requires more effective leadership to be successful."

"I worked for the USAF for over 13 years. Like everything it has its pros and cons. Now that I am out I can really see how much a military member makes. My six figure income is giving me the same lifestyle that I had back when I was an E5, If you do not have medical issues like I did and enjoy staying in shape this is definitely a great career move. Especially if you take advantage of the education systems in place."

"6 year enlistee with the USAF. I have gained a ton of experience since I first entered active duty. I plan on continuing to make myself more rounded in the Information Technology career field. I've worked in offices that support users first hand in a help desk setting to building and maintaining windows 03-08 servers. Currently I'm a systems administrator supporting over 200 users in a single building. We maintain 90 workstations and over 60 servers in a shop with military members and civilians."
