Pros

Important work - building military vehicles to keep our troops safe. Many very dedicated people work here.

Cons

The place is run by a management team that thinks it is still 1980. Rather than treat their employees as contributors, they treat them as subjects. They haven't figured out how to operate in a global market, yet. Management employees that are not “good ‘ol boy” pals of Sr. Mgt, don't stand a chance of advancement and will be the first out the door when layoffs come. People with progressive ideas threaten the Managers’ jobs (in their minds) so get rid of ‘em. HR takes their marching orders from the Union, so it is difficult to improve efficiencies because the deadwood is protected by both the Union and the HR dept.

Pros

Vacation is okay Sick time is okay Health insurance is good 401K

Cons

Sr. Management has forgotten about all workers and their value. People are verbally encouraged to charge for work they don't have to do, so that they don't charge overhead that would be money coming out of the Co. pockets. Mandatory overtime at the end of the year, when there is no work to do because not enough hours get charged to government paid projects and senior management won't get their big corporate bonuses for shafting the government to the max. The leaders are incompetant and illogical. Instead of thoughtful innovation to motivate people there is now a reign of terror that has been eroding the morale of every single person. It's a very sad state of collapse for a once great company. Nepotism, narcissism, arrogance and outright lying is now the norm.
