Pros

Time off. People you work with. The job isn't hard. Timely expectations. Parking isnt really that bad.

Cons

Foreman isnt ever really on the job. Lots of slurs used day to day. You end up working with a bunch of teens. You can feel the tension between shipyard workers and the Navy personnel. Lack of immediate equipment concerning material and equipment to do the job. Lots of people in indirect upper managment that have ridiculous expectations that trails down to your foreman. People steal your tools, equipment, and material. Lots of Apprentices in the Apprentice program that dont belong there.

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.
