      Great people on team, need military background to get ahead, lots of take-charge generals - almost no collaboration.

      Pros

      Mostly laid back atmosphere, easy going. Great benefits, can accrue vacation days up to several months. Week between Christmas and New Years is paid leave.

      Cons

      Management likes to upgrade status reports they don't like, so work revolves around "ghost" target. Management is disconnected and sometimes appear to be creating conflict rather than resolving it. Unclear lines of responsibility with managers since there is overlap so work gets going from one manager and stopped by another. Staff in key positions mostly don't have right skill set. One of those jobs to kill time until retirement !

      Pros

      GDLS has good core of individual that are extremely knowledgable about their products. There is a strong commitment to the Soldiers and Marines that are supported.

      Cons

      There appeared that promotions came about by tenure and not by acheivement. There was often decision/guidence from senoir management that support end of year bonus and not the long term growth of the company

      Pros

      The best health care benefits I have ever had or probably will ever have again. Good overall wage compenstation package.

      Cons

      Very disorganized company structure. Forget everything you have ever learned about trying to reduce waste. The company makes money on wasteful processes and procedures from the government. When there is a bad cash flow month, the company orders more parts that are not needed because they get paid to store the parts which increases cash flow for the month. From the section manager level on up the chain, they rule through intimidation and stiffle ones creativity. After several years of banging your head against the wall of change, everyone that continues to work there conforms to the way the company operates or you leave. Do not tell them the truth, they like to feel warm and fuzzy so you are better off telling them what they want to hear. If you dare tell the truth, there will be recompressions.
