Pros

Good pay, interesting projects, flexible work schedules

Cons

Top heavy/too bureaucratic, too much micro management/no employee empowerment, little to no awards or recognition of employees, little to no janitorial services (carpets haven't been vacuumed in 18 months, scientists/engineers have to take out the trash and vacuum their own carpets), don't have the equipment, supplies, training, and staffing needed to do a good job for the client, NAVFAC jumps from one crisis to the next, clients and top management thinks NAVFAC is arrogant and our quality of service sucks per recent CO staff meeting, continual cuts to field staffing, etc.

Pros

Won’t fire anyone, know how much you’re going to make.

Cons

Bad raises. Job growth is very uncommon. Management is incompetent from top to bottom. Not enough people and too much work. Nepotism is rampant in this organization. Unqualified people are promoted. Career bad apples are left without being fired or disciplined. First level managers are useless. They at too much red tape to do the most basic things. Upper levels are arrogant and hard headed.hiring has been frozen for a year yet somehow the ‘bud club’ is promoting people constantly who are in their ‘inner circle’. Hiring actions are super sketchy, names are dropped for specific people to be hired etc. It’s crazy
