Pros

Working directly on programs that serve the USA's defense sector. Having great co-workers.

Cons

The contract game. Of the ~10 years I worked here, almost seven were off and on as a contractor. Management treats this (contracting) as a way to reap all the benefits of a skilled labor force with none of the responsibility apart from flat compensation. If you contract here, there will be talk of possibly hiring at the end of you 12 or 18 month contract-it will never happen. Company uses the sequestration excuses to terminate contractors, then brings them back 90 days later. No upward promotion opportunities.

Pros

1. Great Pay 2. Supervisors work with you 3. Cleanest atmosphere out of every factory I've worked

Cons

1. Mandatory 7 days a week working 8 hours or consequences, (they are in the business of killing people they'll be okay killing you) 2. Their HR isn't there for the family life it'd be okay for a single kid just learning to work supervisors will help the best of their ability though knowing how it is with a family. 3. It gets very very depressing just because there is nothing to look forward to because they cant keep with a deadline and keep pushing any promises of change.
