Pros

No accountability for work, extremely flexible hours. Can get away doing next to nothing for months on end. For someone who wants to scrape by doing the minimum and get a modest salary, this is your dream job.

Cons

Promotions and raises slow down very quickly. Nothing is based on merit or performance, only years of service. Talent and hard work don't get you anywhere. If you're intelligent and hard-working, and want to be rewarded properly for those assets, this isn't where you want to be.

Shipyard stuck in the 30's

Pros

Other than pay there are no pros.

Cons

Depending on the department you could find yourself in a time warp consisting of Old Boys club, nepotism, cronyism and a strong resistance to any change from all levels. A “We’re a shipyard’ pride in doing things ‘the hard way’. Pressure to provide five hours unpaid overtime each pay period ( called ‘Five for free’). Exempt workers’ pay is annualized (you live by the time clock, not really salaried/exempt – all the downside of hourly and all the limitations of exempt/salary). Woefully inadequate parking (be prepared to walk almost a mile or wait upwards of 30 minutes for the shuttle) Office technology twenty plus years behind. Broken toilets, black mold every summer on the AC outlets growing on the ceilings. One Industry town / isolated stagnate community with high drug use, no growth, transient population.
