Pros

Good pay for the amount of work required. The union makes it almost impossible to be fired as long as you show up and don't sleep at work. You can move up if you want to.

Cons

The parking is terrible. You have to be pretty early to get a halfway decent spot. It's pretty dangerous at times and the supervision is usually more worried about finishing a job than safety but that's most jobs.

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.
