Neither good, nor a bad place to work.

Systems Analyst (Ancien employé) – Oromocto, NB – 16 octobre 2019

Pretty boring most days, lots of sitting around.
Didn't learn too much except from what I would read online.
Pretty toxic culture, hardest part of the job would have to be the red tape surrounding everything, i.e. lots of things broken + lack of permissions to be able to fix the issue = a sad technician.

Team work is great here

Records Management Clerk (Ancien employé) – Ottawa West, ON – 16 octobre 2019

The location, the work, the team are making this assignment a very pleasant environment. I am in a carpool, I work compressed hours, which gives me the friday off every other week, I had a very patient teacher for the skills \I had to acquire for this position,, it is a volume job and the crew is very cooperative and they appreciate everything we do for them.

Good experience.

Vehicle Technician (Ancien employé) – North Bay, ON – 15 octobre 2019

You recieve lots training and experience. It pays well. For part time (reserves), there arent a lot of benefits (medical) you are covered partially for dental but thats it.
You work hard, long hours. It's not irregular to work 7 days a week.
There will always be part time work in the reserves but full time is extremely rare and there is little room for advancemnt

Right for some

Junior Officer (Ancien employé) – Toronto, ON – 15 octobre 2019

This is a great job for some people. Do your research before you sign up and give it your all once you're in. The CAF struggles to find a place for women and it would be massively beneficial if those in charge could stop yelling "MEN!... and... females?" It's just awkward.

Points positifs

Extensive travel with unlimited opportunities

Project Manager for Damage Control Systems/ EC&MAREVAL Coordinator (Ancien employé) – Gatineau, Quebec – 15 octobre 2019

After nearly 28 years in the Royal Canadian Navy, I can honestly say it was an experience of a life time that I will never forget and would not change a thing.
You work hard and the advantage of this is the time you are able to spend in foreign countries and enjoy food, sights and culture around the world, the pay and the solid relations built from being with the same people, working side by side are excellent.

Good

GIS Team, Student (Ancien employé) – Ottawa, ON – 14 octobre 2019

Cool office, does some interesting things. Interesting to learn about the different branches of the armed forces, including the roles civilians can serve within the organization.

The highest obligation and privilege of citizenship is that of bearing arms for one’s country.

Canadian Armed Forces (Infantry) (Ancien employé) – Edmonton, AB – 14 octobre 2019

I joined the CAF(Infantry) after highschool and served for 20yrs. My overseas deployments includes; 1 tour in Bosnia and 4 tours in Afghanistan. Career in the CAF is very fulfilling and yet very challenging. Comradery is at its finest as friendship is forged through hardship regardless of one's background, I for one a visible minority. You can expect to travelling to exotic, interesting and dull places. Your middle management and immediate supervisors changes ever so often. Your entitled to extra pay during overseas deployments. Superb medical and dental plan and other benefits.
The less desirable are as follows; Separation from love ones for long periods of time. Copious amount of paperworks as your career progresses. Perpetually attempting to stay warm or cool depending on location. Lack of sleep and long hours of work. Ineffective equipments. Finally, the likelihood of getting injured or killed on the workplace is far greater than working on a 9 to 5 civilian job.

No comment

Detachement Commander (Ancien employé) – Canada – 11 octobre 2019

I have very little to say about my experience in the Canadian Armed Forces for personal reasons. I do not want to alter or pollute the choice or decision of someone else.

Army Reserves is Good and Bad

Armoured Crewman (Employé actuel) – London, ON – 4 octobre 2019

It's kind of like training for a race that never happens. You train non-stop but you never really get any chances to use that training. Ever heard of the saying hurry up and wait? Ya this is where that saying was created. All-in-all it was a fun experience but it's not really a career choice due to the lack of hours and pay unless you sign a contract and move to reg force or full-time in the reserves.

Interesting work in good work atmosphere

Technical French translator (Ancien employé) – Ottawa, ON – 4 octobre 2019

The opportunity to write film scripts and have them professionally filmed was exciting and challenging. My creative writing skills and theater background came in handy and I was given credit for my contribution to the program. The focus of the program was modern and topical. This made me feel that I was contributing to the good of the community.

Generally good organization

Reservist Corporal (Ancien employé) – Saint John, NB – 3 octobre 2019

If you want to work hard and have purpose, then you will find it here. As an organization representing some of the most honorable and revered people in our country a job that can cast you in any potential for your own willing to strive can go a long ways if you so choose to work with it.

Good workplace but management is rough

Food Service Worker (Ancien employé) – Cold Lake, AB – 2 octobre 2019

This is a position working with the military. It can be a lot of fun, but must also be taken seriously. Some of the civilian workers can be very hard to get along with, but the job itself was fairly good!

Challenging work environnement

Infantry soldier (Ancien employé) – Quebec Province – 29 septembre 2019

A typical day includes physical training, shooting range, equipment maintenance, training and administrative work. Over the years, i learned skills you cannot learn in the civilian world. I had the chance to travel to New Zealand, Australia, Afghanistan, Europe, United-States, Iceland and so many more. The highlight of my carreer were my 2 tours in Kandahar.

My experience in CAF was both good and bad.

Infantry platoon 2nd in command (Ancien employé) – Oromocto, NB – 28 septembre 2019

The benefits are great. They are familly orientated. The work environment is extremely fast paced and seems to be last minute, or off the cuff when assigned tasks to accomplish. This can make it overly stressful; however this can be turned into a positive because you learn to cope and manage stress well.
