Pros

Great pay, benefits, and retirement options could be an improvement for many people. Lots of opportunity to find a place in the organization if your first landing spot isn't correct.

Cons

Organization seems to promote those with "yes-men/yes-women' mentality, conforming to a single role within the org. This can often be outside what the national leadership Captain/Admiral has dictated as their directive. A small leader can interject in-between that they will not follow the directives of that leader which will lead to complications for employees and their families. Often, I found there was lack of input from the employee side, no opportunity to represent yourself in a conversation, things were based on "leaders" pre-conceived notions as opposed to asking for your position prior to a weigh and measure.

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
