Decent pay, job security, poor work/life balance - Chief Radio and Electronics Technician Military Sealift Command Employee Review

Pros

The benefits and salary are pretty good, with plenty of chances for overtime, but you work every day on ships at sea, usually at a high operational capacity. When you pull into port, you're normally very busy as well. There's a trade off. After you pass your probationary period, it's very hard to get fired. This is a U.S. government job, so unless you really screw up...

Cons

Poor work/life balance. People that know what they're getting into expect this, but it can be rough for people that don't. Late reliefs is a serious problem for some jobs.
