Pros

Good benefits, advancement opportunities or lateral conversion to other sectors within the company.

Cons

Working on salary, long hours and weekends are required to meet estimate completion dates. No compensation for this extra work despite the expectation from management that we submit our estimates on time.

Pros

Great benefits and decent wages. Last 2 years, while on second shift, I was working 7 days a week, thus I was able to obtain a lot of overtime.

Cons

Gender discrimination. Regulations/rules were not applied equally. I was told I was a "Target" after stopping unsafe work on a ship; not even a year of employment. I was wrongfully terminated and denied unemployment, as were many others. Some having worked for 40 years or more. Hundreds were laid off in October, December and even more will be laid off in March 2016.
