Pros

The starting pay is competitive. Benefits are good and recently got better (increased vacation time for everyone). Great job security. Flex time and end of the year shutdown allow you to have a good work-life balance. Lateral promotions come easy for the first 5 years. Annual raises. Great opportunity to work on one of the most interesting products in the world, submarines. A nice friendly environment. Opportunity to rotate into different departments and experience all sides of the business. Tuition reimbursement for Undergrad and Masters.

Cons

Management is sometimes disconnected. Hard to move up in the company, not enough positions available. Management does not listen to employee complaints. Groton facilities are run down. Bonuses are small and not based on merit. Annual evaluation is based on years served and not merit. Lots of processes are cumbersome and wholly inefficient. Engineering tends to take blame even when trades are at fault (Union Workers).

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.
