Militiaristic attitude. Not much concern for the real problems of war and weapons

Pros

General Dynamics has proven to be one of the best places I have ever worked. At a time when I felt I had gone as far as I could go, I was proven wrong with a merit promotion to the next level. There is also paid training for those seeking to advance their skills and make themselves more marketable by obtaining a degree or job related certification.

Cons

Any downsides I could list that are applicable to working at General Dynamics would also generally apply to working at any employer anywhere in the US. Some things are not specific to employers but are experienced more broadly by most everyone at one time or another who has been in the work force any length of time. There are however some in our organization that do not get the recognition that they deserve because their work, although vital to the mission is not as visible thereby leaving them to languish on the vine and seek other venues of employment. This is unfortunate for any company.

Pros

Real World Mission of supporting troops and second hand making a difference. Very good Christian folks for the most part. There is a team attitude with a couple exceptions to the rule.

Cons

This is an organization from WWII. Little has changed since, nor is it likely. The paneling is original from the period as is the rest of the place. The expectations of some are great, while others loaf. There is a nepotism of sorts in that it is a very tight group that has run the place for decades. Change management is preached, but not implemented. There are a couple big time asses that somehow manage to stay in middle management despite their incredible ineptitude and lack of people skills.
