Pros

Pay increases every six months (union). Do your work and leave the good part is you don’t have to bring work home.

Cons

Hard physical labor. Brutal weather conditions hot vs cold. If you get hurt on the job you will need extensive paperwork and clearance from your PCP to return to work because they do not provide accommodation even though the company advertise as if they do. If your job entails all those strenuous duties you must be able to do it at all times. The yard is run like a labor plant. You are as worthy as the work you produce. If you are a production worker you keep your personal log of all things that happen because blame runs downward.

Pros

Remote Work, Flex Schedule, Benefits are decent enough.

Cons

It is very much a boys club between management, leads, and HR. HR is there to protect the company, not you. The moment you have something crazy happen (and you will because most people in positions of power are old retired navy guys who cant even work a computer usually and would rather praddle on about "the good ole days") and you report it to HR, you immediately will be retaliated against, even when HR says you wont. Its tough to say how you wont when they immediately inform your supervisor. I also hate how they are an "inclusive" company, and yet I have been called more slurs and received more backlash for being LGBT when its not even being presented, I just want to log in, work, ask questions, log off.
