Excellent learning curve with an opportunity to travel and work with different people
Excellent learning curve with an opportunity to travel and work with different people. You get to be exposed to different career paths. What do not like is they don't give people the opportunity to explore those careers. I would like to see them investing in their people.
Pros: Get to work with different people and travel.
Cons: Struggle to get contracts and call ups if you are a reserve force member.
