Pros

Pay increases every six months (union). Do your work and leave the good part is you don’t have to bring work home.

Cons

Hard physical labor. Brutal weather conditions hot vs cold. If you get hurt on the job you will need extensive paperwork and clearance from your PCP to return to work because they do not provide accommodation even though the company advertise as if they do. If your job entails all those strenuous duties you must be able to do it at all times. The yard is run like a labor plant. You are as worthy as the work you produce. If you are a production worker you keep your personal log of all things that happen because blame runs downward.

Pros

The shipyard is always hiring, and if you don’t like your current role there are always a few dozen others for you to try out

Cons

Current leadership has made a series of confusing policy decisions that seem to be encouraging higher turnover. Parking is a nightmare and they seem to be trying to make it worse. WFH and flexible work schedules are discouraged if not outright prohibited.
