Pros

While this is the first shipyard I have worked at, the pay and benefits are excellent. In addition, while safety here can be questionable, many people say that it is better than at other construction companies.

Cons

See above about safety as they could do much better in that category. I do not mind right now since I am young but otherwise do be prepared to walk a lot of stairs and sacrifice a lot of time just to be able to arrive at work on time. If you are an apprentice you will have to take classes and it can be a hassle if that is not normal experience and have not been to school in a long time.

Pros

Remote Work, Flex Schedule, Benefits are decent enough.

Cons

It is very much a boys club between management, leads, and HR. HR is there to protect the company, not you. The moment you have something crazy happen (and you will because most people in positions of power are old retired navy guys who cant even work a computer usually and would rather praddle on about "the good ole days") and you report it to HR, you immediately will be retaliated against, even when HR says you wont. Its tough to say how you wont when they immediately inform your supervisor. I also hate how they are an "inclusive" company, and yet I have been called more slurs and received more backlash for being LGBT when its not even being presented, I just want to log in, work, ask questions, log off.
