Pros

6% match on 401K, experience working at a large company/DOD contractor, you get a secret clearance you can use to get another job

Cons

Questionable practices to maintain schedule, boring work, lot of paper work, standard work (shipyard procedures, SSPs), no real tuition reimbursement until you work for 8 years, low raises, clueless supervisors, they promote the children of former managers first so good luck getting up into high level management, mandatory to stay until its done for some tasks, overtime is rare and only given to certain people, stay for a few years if your young and move on otherwise you won't be qualified to work anywhere else

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.
