Pros

The benefits are great to build on. Flexibility of when to use holiday hours.

Cons

The Nuclear and Environmental Group is the worst area to work in. We are contractors for NNS which is weird because we are all HII. I work along other Engineers in the same job and they make more than me. So it's easy to get your foot in the door with Nuclear and then really become an actual employee for NNS. I have 2 supervisors where 1 just approves my time on the Nuclear side and my day-today supervisor at NNS is my true supervisor. Contractors are not taken seriously until you become a real employee at NNS. Get in through Nuclear and transfer as soon as you hit 6 months.

Pros

Remote Work, Flex Schedule, Benefits are decent enough.

Cons

It is very much a boys club between management, leads, and HR. HR is there to protect the company, not you. The moment you have something crazy happen (and you will because most people in positions of power are old retired navy guys who cant even work a computer usually and would rather praddle on about "the good ole days") and you report it to HR, you immediately will be retaliated against, even when HR says you wont. Its tough to say how you wont when they immediately inform your supervisor. I also hate how they are an "inclusive" company, and yet I have been called more slurs and received more backlash for being LGBT when its not even being presented, I just want to log in, work, ask questions, log off.
