      I hate the GS pay system

      Electronics engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Working for the USAF will gives me a sense of pride for our country. To know that my specific duties help support the war fighter gives me a huge sense of pride. Most of the people you work with as an engineer are bright and loving people.

      Cons

      The GS pay system is the worst pay scale known to man. If you work hard, you get a raise. If you dont work at all, you get a raise. The USAF is the epitome of bureaucracy. I have never seen so many layers at an organization. You feel like an ant in the middle of a million other ants that look exactly like you.

      A great place to launch a career

      Finance officer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great experience which translates well into the civilian world. As an officer, you get a lot of responsibility assigned to you early. There are a lot of opportunities to volunteer for projects outside of your direct field which can give you great broadening experience.

      Cons

      Of course you need to be ready to move to another location, deploy to change jobs. In this way, you have to be very flexible to be in the Air Force.

      Great job despite the drawbacks

      Pilot

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -Many great people to work with from all walks of life -Some excellent locations -Ridiculous benefits package, better by far than anything you'll see in the civilian world -30 days paid leave a year -Flying airplanes is fun -Obvious and predictable opportunities for advancement -Deployments can be fun

      Cons

      -No opportunity to affect career path of the lousy managers and coworkers you sometimes get -Some really awful locations -Health care, though free and plentiful, is often performed by amateurs whose goal is to get you back to work, not to get you healthy -Your time is not your own--frequent long hours both in the air and on the ground, and leave can be canceled if required by the needs of the Air Force, which always come first -Difficult to truly set yourself apart from peers; advancement virtually guaranteed up to a certain point and beyond that it requires politicking, which other people have already done better than you -Deployments can also suck
