Pros

6% match on 401K, experience working at a large company/DOD contractor, you get a secret clearance you can use to get another job

Cons

Questionable practices to maintain schedule, boring work, lot of paper work, standard work (shipyard procedures, SSPs), no real tuition reimbursement until you work for 8 years, low raises, clueless supervisors, they promote the children of former managers first so good luck getting up into high level management, mandatory to stay until its done for some tasks, overtime is rare and only given to certain people, stay for a few years if your young and move on otherwise you won't be qualified to work anywhere else

Pros

If you're under 30, the pay can be pretty decent starting out. Pay and benefits start when you start training. If you like downtime, there's plenty.

Cons

The leadership is incredibly dysfunctional and everything is behind schedule. The environment is literally toxic and you will not get a respirator, just an N95 mask. Management is understaffed and unsupported. There's a lack of seasoned experienced employees, which means the young people coming in aren't being trained or mentored properly. You might have a 19 year old kid doing stupid and dangerous stuff right next to you and there's no supervision. Sick and vacation time is so small that running out of hours is the #1 way to get fired.
