Awesome Place to Work

Research civil engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Very dynamic place to work. They promote intellectual growth, as it is a research facility. Best place for engineers that want to solve problems and not work with canned solutions to everyday run of the mill, and uninteresting problems.

Cons

Remote location in Mississippi. Surrounded by a series of poor and uninteresting towns that are still suffering the aftermath of the Civil War and abolition of Slavery. For those with family, schools in the immediate area are of no consequence and utterly useless.

Secure employment, great leadership experience

Platoon leader

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great leadership opportunity Ability to do things that others pay to do Steady pay in an uncertain economic environment If you get fired you get moved to a position with greater responsibility

Cons

As a Platoon Leader, there are times you feel like a highly paid babysitter. Battalion leadership has a complete disconnect between what is actually feasible and what will make a good bullet on their Officer Evaluation Report

Mediocre and at times very stressful.

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Right uniform, right place, and right time. If you adhere to these three principles you can be recognized as someone who is doing the right thing.

Cons

With the Army essentially being one of the largest employers within the United States and one of the oldest. There is often no continuity of information and to much variance from installation to installation.
