Job Security and Stability
As a part of the Federal workforce, DOD Employees enjoy the job security and stability that the Federal Government has to offer.
-
Flexible and Alternate Work Schedules
The DOD recognizes that the hundreds of thousands of employees in its workforce all have different needs for supporting themselves and their families at home. That is why the Department offers many work schedules, from working a compressed schedule that allows for additional days off or a maxi-flex schedule to accommodate varying start and end times. Many types of schedules are available to choose from to accommodate the needs of the team and the supervisor.
-
