Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI have been working at Royal Navy full-time (More than 10 years)
Pros
Money compared to outside forces is still better
Being on a ship at sea in foreign lands/water means happier employees!
Perks that we still have (rail card, and ?????)
Pension not good, but still better than civilian streetCons
Further up ranks, more responsibility for not much more money
Stuck in 1970s with regard to using modern technology, accommodation, what you can access
Promotion does not equal a better pension or anything else, just more responsibility and stress
Work / Life balance is expected to be just being at workAdvice to Management
Look after people who stay beyond 5 years (very few presently)
Discharge all those senior who are very unhappy and bitter bringing down morale
What is written in rule books - abide by it (JSPs frequently over ruled)Royal Navy 2018-04-05 04:19 PDT![Royal Navy Logo]()
