Pros

They have good people doing the work.

Cons

- no safety culture - promote unqualified people for Upper Management positions that they have experience in. - Good ole' boy network - Unsafe conditions that will never get fixed since Navy is the only customer - employees are treated terribly and have no voice - Safety is tasking facility jobs and not professional. - you are tracked like a prisoner by the clock including salary. This is to make bids look more appealing to Navy by averaging out hours worked per boat. They will tell you that the Navy requires it but that is quite untrue for salary individuals. - The hours tracking generates in the "I can work more hours than you" culture for no reason. And the company expects salary to work long hours which are meaningless and in turn do not generate better productivity. - Old School, do as you are told no matter what your level. - I can go on and on Just a warning. If you are an educate and seasoned professional and/or manager, DO NOT WORK HERE!!! Run! Employees actually told me the first week they wish they knew my name before I started since they would have warned me not to come.

Pros

This is a last resort job if you can’t find anything else

Cons

The processes and systems in place to get the job done is dismal. There is no official training for the job role. If you make suggestions and try to be helpful you are seen as a threat by management. There is rarely any cross functional communication. It feels like they want things to take a long time and be wrong so that they can charge the govt. more money. (Bc every task you do will have a charge number). Most long timers at the company don’t care about the work being done inefficiently either, bc they have a reason for overtime. Very weird corporate politics / favoritism. (I have never seen it as bad as it is here). Parking is terrible at every location.
