Pros

Being an apprentice people say we are kind of treated a lot better than regular hourly workers. I don't really think we are treated any different. I like working with my hands Only job I ever had that paid me to go to school so that's awesome. The pay is good especially being that I can into the company with no industrial experience. 100% Tuition assistance program is excellent. Good benefits It's a cool job, where you get to be at the only place in the world that builds nuclear power aircraft carriers. That our Navy uses to defend our Country.

Cons

Being a women you have to work two times harder than your man counter parts to be taking seriously. However it can be done, I did it, it just takes hard work. It's all about who knows you, people with family in high places often get promotion they don't deserve.

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.
