      A great place to work and start, caveats for the long term

      Pros

      Competitive pay and benefits - best large employer in the New England area for engineers Virtually unlimited access to personal-growth projects. Great middle-management, deserving of the highest accolades for employee respect. Interesting setting and high quality shipbuilders. Excellent access to overtime. Seems likely to retain its market share for the immediate future. LS7 union is pretty reasonable, mostly respectful and will work with management.

      Cons

      Vacation allowance is below industry standards and amount of time off is unacceptably low. Hard working, hard charging folks will want more time off in the first 5 years of employment. Pay seems detached from effort or results. This stings especially when yard-wide cuts to health care, compensation, and promotion possibilities effect great and terrible workers equally. Competition in the military shipbuilding field is fairly fierce, and BIW is definitely in red waters and appears to not have any definitive strategy. Like any big company - there is a lot bureaucratic red tape to cut through.

      Pros

      The culture, very traditional and family oriented< laid back, friendly> very good pay for Maine and benefits are great union or non, exempt or not. great location, amazing to see such a huge vessel come together

      Cons

      lay offs are common, but most are recalled fairly quickly, just the nature of ship building, as it is done in sections.
