Pros

Higher than average pay, good benefits (although relatively costly if you want anything decent), steady hours and a good work/life balance.

Cons

**First and foremost, I'll back up what another reviewer said. The conditions vary IMMENSELY depending on what section of the company your work for. That having been said:** You only accumulate 4-6 hours per MONTH of paid time off. Jesus Christ. Seriously? No management whatsoever. The managers or supervisors are NOT "leaders" by any conventional sense. I am subcontracted, and am forced to abide by not only HII's rules and regulations, but also a certain government body's "rules" that are literally entirely word of mouth. I've asked for employee handbooks, rulebooks, anything in black and white, however all I've been told is, "This is just the way things are" at every turn. Eww. Seriously? You're telling me that? The leadership here is ABSOLUTE GARBAGE. I informed my supervisor about the gross mis-spending of government funds and the blatant theft that takes place on a daily basis, but they couldn't care less.

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.
