Pros

The work is entertaining and problems are novel. The employment is very stable. There are great people to learn from while on the job. there is a great sense of pride in the quality of the work that is done at Newport News Shipyard.

Cons

Very poor compensation and no opportunity to distiguish yourself for upward movement. Ambition for promotion is frowned upon. If you do NOT work at the Newport News Shipyard, you do not exsist in the company. HR, Management, and all product support/production staff do not know there is anything beyond Hampton Roads, VA.

Pros

The senior management is taking the company in the right direction, providing opportunities in many technical fields. Ship building,Electronic warfare,Unmanned aircraft,Stealth Technology,Refueling Tankers - with an internal transfer mechanism in place to apply for possitions on other programs.

Cons

The only downside in my view would be if your job moves to another location - you move with it.

Pros

There are good training opportunities. There is diverse work. The company has great benefits and good people.

Cons

There are more processes and procedures to follow than at a smaller place. Things run pretty smoothly, but this is really just a big company / small company trade-off.
