Pros

Challenging work in shipbuilding environment.

Cons

Stressful place to work. Had to park a mile away and took a shuttle in to the workplace due to parking issue at Groton Campus. The buildings for employees were old and poor insulation. Culture of the workplace was too much office politics which attributed to the lack of productivity. Management did not care to listen to their employees concerns and was very bureaucratic at times. Most of the work was paper-pusher that provided little career growth in the long term. Had to work the days between Christmas and New Year while other defense companies paid this time off. Had to clock in the hours daily using a timecard machine for both hourly and salary. Below average benefit package.

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.
