Pros

Building America's warships is a very satisfying and rewarding job. Most of the craftsman are willing to teach and explain in detail about the job. Promotion opportunities are plentiful if you're willing to work hard.

Cons

Working around steel is hot, cold and dirty. The hours could be adjusted depending on the time of year, come in earlier in the summer months and later in the winter months. When folks are more comfortable they tend to work harder.

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.
