Smart executives, quality products, but you must be a maritime college graduate to advance from within.

Pros

The Government and commercial customers are generally very satisfied with our work. Relaxed dress code. Upper management is effective. Decent pay.

Cons

The current president is volatile - a great leader but an awful boss. As he is a grad of Maine Maritime, he recruits lots of interns (PDPs for Professional Development Program) from there, and they are the chosen ones who can leap up the ladder with little experience, while others are less likely to succeed. The Government works onsite; full of idiots.

Pros

Christmas shut down allows for extended vacay My boss does not micro manage

Cons

1950's mentality is archaic; women are definetly not given equal opportunity. If you are not a male with maritime academy or military experience, you will not be considered for advancement, no matter your skills and experience

Limited compensation package and educational assistance. However if you perform in your job and let your voice be heard this should not be an issue.
