Ingalls Pascagoula. Since NG left...declining benefits are now the norm.

Pros

Big organization stability and resources. There are many great people there. Experts in just about every field that you can learn from. Can specialize if you are able to move internally. Great place to learn quickly. Just out of school initial opportunities are good. Do not spend more than 3 to 5 yrs there.

Cons

Employees benefits are being cut consistently. Cut holiday this year. Cut PTO accrual rate. Eliminated Sick Time. Said can Flex time, but limited. Merit raises frozen for 6 months and very small when received before (except mgmt). Your pay check will decrease with respect to inflation. Will likely get no salary increases when you get within 10 yrs of retirement. Would only recommend working here if no other option at this time (why i clicked recommend). Limited hiring of salaried at this time.

Pros

It's a good, solid place to start a career. It generally sounds impressive on a resume (to those outsiders who don't know any better). Also, since it's such a large company you have opportunities to transfer and get a new experience without changing your employer. Job security is almost always guaranteed and as the old shipyard saying goes, if you go somewhere else and "it doesn't work out, you can always come back to the shipyard."

Cons

Some departments are better than others. I've worked in a couple of very professional and normal (functioning) ones, but have also worked in one that was horribly inappropriate and dysfunctional----really rotting from management down. I agree with another review that it is indeed a white collar jobs program and a good old boy network. And I agree with another point----it really is operating half a century behind times and frighteningly, many employees have a mindset that is decades behind. Be prepared for every 'ism' in the book: sexism, racism, ageism, you name it.
