Business Outlook

Pros

Stability of a job regardless of what that job turns into as the company's needs change. Surface attempts to make it better.

Cons

Stagnation of compensation. Tepid leadership as a whole. Risk adverse versus adventurous. Strangling of the new thing whilst throwing resources at dying processes.

Pros

I enjoyed my time working for Huntington Ingalls. My work days were very productive in managing time, tasks and responsibilities not only to myself but to my employees as well, when I was put into leadership. Management could have been better in taking care of our needs, checking on us more often and ensuring that we had the proper tools to complete or jobs. The most enjoyable part of my job was being able to provide for my family and meeting people from different walks of life.

Cons

Every day presented a different project in the electrical, mechanical, technical, and safety departments. Problem solving to stay on schedule, from parts not being available, job planing, scheduling, resolving safety violations, establishing budgets, implementing new work guidelines and policies etc...
