Pros

The pay and benefits were pretty good, and the work schedule was somewhat flexible. I worked in a building away from the yard, so parking was good.

Cons

The commute is awful from just about anywhere, but that's also Hampton Roads in general. The biggest turn off for me was the constant antagonism between the various departments and also the trades. It seemed like nobody ever wanted to work together. There was also a lot of antagonism with the Navy, the only customer. There's no diversity in their business, so if the Navy ever slows down its work (like currently) then layoffs happen.

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.
