Pros

Working on submarines, decent pay, flexible hours, shift differential for second or third shift. Promotion is very much based on seniority. Very good job security due to long term contracts

Cons

parking is miserable especially if you work in New London, Groton isn't a lot better unless you work the off shift. Promotion is more on seniority and not so much based on merit. Used to have a good overtime policy, but it's less attractive now. Vacation isn't competitive with other companies

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.
