Pros

If you're salary, the benefits package (health, dental, retirement, etc.) Is good and the work-life balance is better than if you're hourly.

Cons

The work load and environment will vary so radically based on where you are. For example, in E81 engineering it's very much 40hrs/week and when you clock out, you clock out. But, if you work in E85 or other 'production end' engineering, overtime because basically forced on you. Pay is definitely less than competitive in many areas, even if you're working overtime as most salary positions get something called 'premium time' which is basically 75% of your normal wage instead of traditional time and a half when over 80hrs in a biweekly period.

Pros

A lot of flexibility with my schedule. Can shift hours as needed as long as work is done. No micromanaging supervisors. They tend to stay out of your hair as long as the customer is happy.

Cons

As contract support, its not always clear if our contract is being renewed. Government reps and Hii Reps will always provide conflicting information. This leads to a regularly stressful 4th quarter every year. It is not obvious to me how one progresses through "the ranks" since we are contracting staff support. There seems to be a disconnect between HII employees supporting HII efforts, and HII employees supporting the government. HII takes Cybersecurity very seriously. So serious it makes completing regular daily tasks way longer than it should. I often need multiple attampts, and a call to IT support to get it done. So, I'd rather wait to be told to check my Hii email, or that I need to complete training than do it voluntarily.
