Pros

The only good thing about working here is the healthcare package. The pay is merely OK for the dangerous work and environment.

Cons

I list these con's as a current employee. This shipyard sound be an absolute last resort if you need a job. -work days are much longer due to having to park and pay while fighting thousands of others or park for free and take twenty minutes to walk to work. -no room for advancement unless you have a golden set of kneepads -your boss and your bosses boss will ridicule you in front of you and others -management let's you know you are worthless and expendable to them -management makes up rules on the fly in order to get rid of people they don't like. -extremely poor working conditions. When it is cold, it is extremely cold. When it is hot, it is extremely hot. -management tells you to stay warm or cool and tries to write you up when you do. -management refuses liberal leave when it is issued and forces you to work when it is unbearably hot. -environment breeds thieves and liars. I really could go on and on and on, but I hope you ate getting the point. This is a terrible place to work. I have been an x32 for a while now and wish I was young enough to stay a new job.

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.
