Pros

Job Stability is the #1 benefit of PSNS. Even the laziest of employees have little chance of being let go. Lots of vacation time. Decent pay (considering the relative difficulty of the work) Flexible hours, rarely any mandatory overtime (for engineers) Will pay for 100% of public transportation costs. Lots of great people.

Cons

Engineering work does not necessarily help you gain experience useful outside the shipyard Lots of bureaucracy. Lots of employees who seem more concerned with whats "easiest" for them, rather than what's best for the Ship Yard. MASSIVE management structure. Less than desired level of respect for the workers.
