Pros

- Employees take pride in their work - Relatively secure future work prospects, even with the defense budget in flux - Opportunities to see tons of different work areas/types within the company

Cons

- New London and Groton CT don't have much going for them - Salary and growth is predominantly a function of time with the company, not as much performance - The frustrating inefficiency that comes with a large corporation in government contract

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.
