      Pros

      Conservative approach $20B in current and back order contracts HII Health Centers

      Cons

      HII is buying service companies to create cash to support shipbuilding where ship/sub payments are on build achievement milestones which can be several months apart. As such, they suppress salary growth. They deal with unions are essentially the only game in town. Most gov service contract are cost plus, so salary increases do not affect bottom line and most cases increase bottom line revenue. We cannot hire because we are so low salaried and we always have openings.

      Pros

      A lot of flexibility with my schedule. Can shift hours as needed as long as work is done. No micromanaging supervisors. They tend to stay out of your hair as long as the customer is happy.

      Cons

      As contract support, its not always clear if our contract is being renewed. Government reps and Hii Reps will always provide conflicting information. This leads to a regularly stressful 4th quarter every year. It is not obvious to me how one progresses through "the ranks" since we are contracting staff support. There seems to be a disconnect between HII employees supporting HII efforts, and HII employees supporting the government. HII takes Cybersecurity very seriously. So serious it makes completing regular daily tasks way longer than it should. I often need multiple attampts, and a call to IT support to get it done. So, I'd rather wait to be told to check my Hii email, or that I need to complete training than do it voluntarily.
