United States Marine Corps Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"I joined the Marine Corps in 2006. I was promoted to Sergeant in 2010. It's well known that senior staff and officers lie to their subordinates on a regular basis, often convincing the subordinates to spend ridiculous hours at work (No chance of overtime pay) by promising time off in the future. That time off will be quickly forgotten by the senior member. Furthermore, as a Data Chief, I was required to obtain Sec+, Net+, A+, CCNA and other certifications to keep that occupation. Much like time off, I was promised that the opportunity would come "later" because work needed to get done and I couldn't be gone for a two-week course, because I was "too valuable." Now, after eight years, there is no more "later" to obtain certifications through the Marine Corps, and I gave eight years of my life to that organization and have very little to show for it now."

"I was employed for the Military for 4 years."

"Do you have what it takes to join the few, the proud?"

"I have been in the Marine Corps for 13 years and had a wonderful time. I would recommend the Marine Corps to anyone who loves their country and wants an adventure. It is not easy, but the Marines don't claim to be. If you think you are up for a challenge, then be a Marine!"

"I loved the marine corps even though I was forced out. It will always be a huge part of my life and the man I have become from my experiences I could not get anywhere else. Sure, we didn't have all the fancy stuff like the army navy or airforce but we are very effective with less."

"I had a great experience with the United States Marine Corps, with many things I can take away for my lifetime career."

"I loved working for the United States Marine Corps. It was a great organization with great management."

"I've worked in the United States Marine Corps for 8 strong years. I've learned the supply chain in my active duty time. Good organization that gave me a drive and leadership roles."

"Life changing experience, something that will always be in my heart, Once a Marine, always a Marine."

"I was a Cyber Network Operator from 2011 to 2015 in the United States Marine Corp. It was a good experience and taught me a lot of different skills for my next step in the IT industry."

"Being a Marine is very rewarding and am lucky to end my career at a great squadron. Recent military cutbacks and downsizing made promotion very difficult. In the civilian sector, most of my side jobs would warrant a promotion or a raise. In the military they got me either a coin or a medal, which is nice but only goes so far."

"I was active duty in the Marine Corps from 2004 to 2007, I loved the Marine Corps and wanted to make it my career but left because my wife was having a daughter and I wanted to be more involved as a father than always being on deployment missing home. I was swat and recon and reserved the right as vehicle team leader for logistic conveys, enemy raids, and route recon in areas never seen by American military. My billet was a job that is usually given to a more senior and experienced marine but because of my skills, leadership, and ability to remain calm and think fast under pressure it was given to me and I received awards for doing it really well. During the end of my career in the marines I worked as a base officer mostly dealing with domestic violence disturbances."

"I've worked for the USMC for five years. My last annual income was $23,000.00. The company provides an avenue to directly help your country but not necessarily yourself or family above middle class."

"I have been in the Marines for over 10 years and while I love my position the military life is never forever."
