Pros

Decent Pay, Easy Work, Stable

Cons

Hit or Miss Management. Nepo Babies get the cookie. I had 2 good Managers but the 2 above them were corporate nightmares. They were worried about the climb up and not about the ones below them. Don’t think that your promotion is merit based. It’s based on who you know.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great pay, benefits, and retirement options could be an improvement for many people. Lots of opportunity to find a place in the organization if your first landing spot isn't correct.

Cons

Organization seems to promote those with "yes-men/yes-women' mentality, conforming to a single role within the org. This can often be outside what the national leadership Captain/Admiral has dictated as their directive. A small leader can interject in-between that they will not follow the directives of that leader which will lead to complications for employees and their families. Often, I found there was lack of input from the employee side, no opportunity to represent yourself in a conversation, things were based on "leaders" pre-conceived notions as opposed to asking for your position prior to a weigh and measure.
