Pros

Guaranteed a pay check years to come if you can forfeit your career dreams and motivation for true advancement.

Cons

Health plan is the worst I ever had. High deductable..consider on using HSA of your own money to plan for any medical needs. Raises are terrible and the promotions (except into management) are pathetic. Give up time and a half for OT for promotion where you have to give 5 hours casual before straight time on OT. Promotions are anywhere from $1500 to $2200 in my dept. Wht take it? Less than 50 hours in OT in a year gives you more money in paycheck. The unprofessional activities of managers are unacceptable on any level except at EB. The cursing, the hostile environment can be overwhelming. Upper management has a way not to communicate when it is neccessary. Expect to hear it from a co-worker as rumors and truths spread quickly. Parking is a nightmare for both Groton facilities and New London. Idle time and the constant changing of procedures will keep you annoyed.

Pros

This is a last resort job if you can’t find anything else

Cons

The processes and systems in place to get the job done is dismal. There is no official training for the job role. If you make suggestions and try to be helpful you are seen as a threat by management. There is rarely any cross functional communication. It feels like they want things to take a long time and be wrong so that they can charge the govt. more money. (Bc every task you do will have a charge number). Most long timers at the company don’t care about the work being done inefficiently either, bc they have a reason for overtime. Very weird corporate politics / favoritism. (I have never seen it as bad as it is here). Parking is terrible at every location.
