Forces Armées Canadienne

What is the best part of working at the company?
It was great now part tense as Canadian Army is going through an identity crisis of sort and one can't intelligiby lead anymore.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Slow poke process where there is more convoluted rules than success opportunities. Leaders are unable to implement any meaningful changes and productivity is fiercely discouraged

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
There is more a culture vacuum at the Canadian Army and what was once a solid value driven organisation has now turned into an everything pie I was happy to join then and thrilled to leave after 25 years. I'll pray for it to find balance before it is compromised to irreparable status.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Train work sleep repeat lots of work dodgers encouraged by soft do nothing policies

It's fun and challenging for a while. If you have a good boss or chain of command, then you'll be able to thrive and do things you really want to do. Don't get me wrong, the things you can do are fun and very enriching. You learn a lot of stuff you wouldn't in any other jobs and you get to do things you'd never do elsewhere.

However, the moment you get someone in the chain of command that is not "optimal", then your whole job suffers because of it. Unfortunately, because of the ranks, it is really difficult to say something against the people of a superior rank, even through the proper channels.

Ethics are a supposedly big concern there, but the moment something truly unethical happens, then you might be on your own, depending on whom the unethical thing concerns.

Ive been in for 3 and1/2 years and am still atleast a year off from completing my trade training....Its definitely a process (made worst by covid tbf). There are some great opportunities to save money if you live on base and workplace is actually pretty enjoyable if you get good colleagues.


With the CAF, you'll be challenged on different aspects of your life and  self. But, you'll be surrounded by amazing people with a lot of experience so you can grow and learn to be the best version of yourself.

It is very productive and we occupy many  various tasks. It goes from administration to security, to training, to medic. We are given a lot of responsibilities, which most of them involve the cadets.

Overall good job with great people. Management is getting younger every year. Organization that depends a lot on public opinion which brings a change of mentality that may not meet everyones ethics

Great work environment and good people to work with. Working hoyrs are  Not to flexible but will adapt at the end. On jobs training is very proactive and adaptive to your skill level

Great fun a lot of exciting things to do lots of great people you meet  very caring opened and want you to succeed. The training in phenomenal and the respect is great
