      Great company, much better after spin-off

      Pros

      Great company, one of a few good paying employers in an area that does not have very many large employers who pay well. The 9/80 work schedule offers flexibility and the people are generally very friendly and cooperative. The work is interesting and unique and the big-quality, defense-related work BWXT is involved with is a great source of pride for all workers. The company split when it spun off its fossil fuel division (Babcock & Wilcox), the remaining company resurrected the former BWXT name for its primarily defense and nuclear related business. The split has been very well received by employees.

      Cons

      No real down-sides or cons. BWXT froze the defined-benefit pension plan last year (2015), which was a downer, but it is not unique in that almost all private employers did the same years ago. I'm surprised they left it as long as they did, frankly. We still get a 401k, with a match and with extra $ added, based on years of service, something very few companies offer.

      Very poor ethics in certain departments

      Pros

      Coworkers were great, pay was good, and schedule was a nice plus (9/80 schedule). Not much else good about it....

      Cons

      Technology is seriously lagging but the biggest issue is the unethical behavior of management in certain departments. The good old boy environment is alive and well once again after the separation from B&W. They want a "safe" environment but you can't trust going to HR with legitimate ethical violation issues for fear you will be shown the door. Management also should not brag about knowing the legal "rules" for letting someone go as a means for keeping people in line.
