Toxic work culture.

Canadian Armed Forces (Ancien employé) - Winnipeg, MB - 13 juillet 2022

Overall, not a great place to work. Military life is not for everyone. Your often posted to units in the middle of nowhere, or somewhere completely unaffordable. Institution lacks support for members as the mission comes first. Toxic work culture.

Points positifs

Vacation time, medical benefits.

Points négatifs

Can take up to a year/two years to receive an offer, Toxic work culture, Pay does not equal what you would make in the civilian community for a similar job, Lots of time away from home, Not everyone is treated equally.

Pays the bills

Artilleryman (Employé actuel) - Shilo, MB - 10 juillet 2022

Depending on your trade it is all or nothing you are either working days at a time with little to no real breaks or waiting around for months at a time for something to happen

Good benefits but no work/life balance

Marine Technician (Ancien employé) - Halifax, NS - 21 juin 2022

Only apply if you're young and single, this job will ruin your personal life. You will spend most of your time away sailing and when alongside you will be fixing 30 year old equipment that should've be replaced long ago.

Points positifs

Good job security

Points négatifs

Always away from home, toxic leadership

Great for travel

Naval Communicator (Employé actuel) - Halifax, NS - 20 juin 2022

Love my career with the CAF. Great pay for the amount of work you actually do. Do lots of research prior to joining so you pick the trade that is perfect for you.

Complex hierarchy

Senior Materiel Acquisition and Support Specialist (Ancien employé) - Ottawa, ON - 17 juin 2022

Hard to adjust due to extreme bureaucratic systems and processes. It is very hard to understand the big picture and things change quickly. A lot of deficiencies in the internal systems and procedures. Out-of-date.

Points positifs

Training

Points négatifs

Lengthy and complicated system to work

Brief description of serving in the military

Military (Ancien employé) - Kingston, ON - 13 juin 2022

typical day at work can be between 5am to 11pm. You're completely trained in whatever trade you apply for. management is hit or moss you may have excellent leaders. you may get incompetent commanders. The culture is heavily ran by men who are stuck in an old culture of it being a boys club. Harassment is common place. the job can be physically demanding and can demand virtually months to a year away from home. Kiss your family life goodbye when you join the forces.

Points positifs

Benefits, job security

Points négatifs

Log hours, Dangerous work, poor management

Improvement and high income

Canadian Armed Forces (Ancien employé) - Terrebonne, QC - 11 juin 2022

Is when the work increase income through improvements on goods and service when the labor force isn’t willing and determined to work hard to contribute to end good productivity

Nothing else like it

Information Technology Specialist (Employé actuel) - Calgary, AB - 10 juin 2022

The pride and sense of camaraderie you get from wearing the Canadian Armed Forces uniform is unmatched in any other career I've ever had. I've learned a lot professionally.

Can be tough yet rewarding. Decent job security, benefits and pay.

Combat Engineer (Employé actuel) - Gagetown, NB - 5 juin 2022

After six years of being a combat engineer in the CAF, I have no regrets enlisting as a non-comission member. I have the best and worst memories of my life with the army. At the end of the day, it is what you make of your career.

Points positifs

steady pay, job security, benefits

Points négatifs

expect almost no deployments for combat arms ncms

Great teamwork and mental development opportunity

Trained Private (Employé actuel) - Kingston, ON - 31 mai 2022

I’ve loved working for the CAF so far, only complaint has been paperwork as it sometimes gets misplaced in the reserves; otherwise it has been a fantastic work environment and I look forward to continuing my career

Miserable Place to Work

Vehicle Technician (Employé actuel) - Borden, ON - 26 mai 2022

Enlist in the army only as a last resort. You are there to be abused. The Loudership and Bureaucracy is arcane. The salary does not keep up with housing prices. People are digging in to their savings just to be able to work. We have families with double incomes working 2 jobs.

Points positifs

Federal Benefits

Points négatifs

Long Hours

Couldnt have Asked for better

combat engineer (Ancien employé) - petawawa, on - 23 mai 2022

Rewarding Career

Sonar Op (Ancien employé) - Esquimalt, BC - 19 mai 2022

I had a very rewarding career in the Navy. You are away from home a lot and for long extended periods of time. The pay is pretty decent . The best part of the job is the people you meet and all the travel .
