Pros

- Employees take pride in their work - Relatively secure future work prospects, even with the defense budget in flux - Opportunities to see tons of different work areas/types within the company

Cons

- New London and Groton CT don't have much going for them - Salary and growth is predominantly a function of time with the company, not as much performance - The frustrating inefficiency that comes with a large corporation in government contract

Pros

If you're under 30, the pay can be pretty decent starting out. Pay and benefits start when you start training. If you like downtime, there's plenty.

Cons

The leadership is incredibly dysfunctional and everything is behind schedule. The environment is literally toxic and you will not get a respirator, just an N95 mask. Management is understaffed and unsupported. There's a lack of seasoned experienced employees, which means the young people coming in aren't being trained or mentored properly. You might have a 19 year old kid doing stupid and dangerous stuff right next to you and there's no supervision. Sick and vacation time is so small that running out of hours is the #1 way to get fired.
